Creating a VNF Service Profile

VNF Service Profile is necessary for the VNF deployment. It defines information regarding the VNF used in the deployment.

After VeloCloud is installed, it is necessary to configure it and create a VNF service profile.

This profile is necessary later to deploy the CloudGuard Edge on VNF.

To create a VNF service profile:

  1. Connect to the VCO.

  2. From the Manage Customer tab, select the customer.

  3. Select Configure > Network Services.

  4. In the Network Services tab, go to VNFs and create a new VNF profile > click New.

    The VNF Service Management Configuration window opens.

  5. Enter the information for these fields.

    Name of the VNF profile.

    VNF Type:

    After you select the VNF type, another parameter for configuration shows.

    SIC Key for Management Server Access:

    One-time password for the connection between Smart Center and the VNF.

    VNF Image Location:

    The location can be on an HTTPS server or an S3 bucket on AWS.

    • The HTTPS link must be: https://<Server-Name>/<File-Path>

    • The S3 link must be: <Bucket-Name>/<File-Path>

    Image Version:

    This image version automatically configures the File Checksum Type and File Checksum.

    The version is configured in the VCO.

    If the VCO is managed by VMware, then the Image Version is configured by VMware.

    If the VCO is private, see Configuring the Image Version.

    Download Type:

    • If you select S3, enter the S3 bucket's Access key and Secret Access Key.

    • If you select HTTPS, enter the HTTPS server's user name and password.
