In a cloud site, customers access network services from the service provider’s cloud. You create a cloud site from the Sites page. This page describes how to create a cloud site for a tenant.
To create a cloud site:
The Sites page appears.
The Add Cloud Site page appears.
Table 158: Fields on the Add Cloud Site Page
Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Site Information | |
Site Name | Enter a site name. You can use any number of alphanumeric characters, including special characters. The maximum length is 15 characters. |
Cloud Hub Type | Select the cloud hub type—Regional Service Edge, Local Service Edge, or Cloud Hub. All three hub types are hosted on a point of presence (POP). However, on a POP, you can configure only one hub type at a time. By default, the Cloud Hub type is displayed when configuring a cloud site. Select Local Service Edge if the site is directly connected to the Internet. Traffic from customer site is serviced and forwarded to Internet. This is similar to the local breakout feature. Select Regional Service Edge when you want to assign common services, such as NAT or UTM to multiple sites. |
| Address | |
Street Address | Enter the street address of the site. |
City | Enter the city where the site is located. |
State/Province | Enter the state or province where the site is located. |
ZIP/Postal Code | Enter the postal code for the locality of the site. |
Contact Name | Enter the name of a contact person for the site. |
Enter the e-mail ID of the contact person. | |
Phone | Enter the phone number of the contact person. |
Virtual Network Name | Enter a unique string of alphanumeric characters and some special characters (. -). No spaces are allowed and the maximum length is 15 characters. A virtual network is a representation of your own network in the cloud. |
| Configuration Based on the cloud hub device, the following fields are populated: | |
Service POP | Select the name of the point of presence (POP) for the site. A network POP is a location at which a service provider instantiates a network function, such as a virtualized network function (VNF). |
Hub Device Name | Select the cloud hub device name for the site. |
GRE Interfaces | (Optional) Select one or more generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel interfaces. All the interfaces configured while adding a cloud hub device are listed. A subset of the interface(s) can also be selected. To delete the interface name, click x. |
MS Interfaces | (Optional) Select one or more multiservices (MS) tunnel interfaces. All the interfaces configured while adding a cloud hub device are listed. A subset of the interfaces can also be selected. To delete the interface name, click x. |
VT Interfaces | (Optional) Select one or more virtual tunnel (VT) interfaces. All the interfaces configured while adding a cloud hub device are listed. A subset of the interface(s) can also be selected. To delete the interface name, click x. |
Logical Interface Unit Range | (Optional) Enter the logical interface range for the tunnel interface. The default range is set during CSO setup. If you do not specify any value, then the default range is considered. |
VIM | Select a virtualized infrastructure manager (VIM). The VIM controls and manages the compute, storage, and network resources in the NFV infrastructure. The VIM also collects and forwards performance measurements and events. |
Resource Pool | Select a resource pool for the VIM. Resource pools identify the compute zones for the VIM for the POP. |
Route Target | Enter a route target for the virtual network. |
| Service Attachment Points | |
Local Internet Breakout | Enable or disable Internet access to the site. |
Left Subnet Prefix | Select one or more IPv4 prefixes for the management network. |
Internet Network Name | Select the network to which the site transmits Internet traffic. |
