Tunnel selection profiles

Overview

The NFM-P uses a tunnel selection profile to assign transport tunnels for a service when the service is configured for automatic SDP binding creation. Tunnel selection profiles can also be used for services when the SDP binding creation is performed manually. The NFM-P chooses tunnels and return tunnels when the automatic selection of transport tunnels is enabled and a tunnel selection profile is specified.

A tunnel selection profile contains tunnel administrative groups. When the profile is used within a service to create SDP bindings, any tunnels that include the tunnel administrative group in that profile become eligible for consideration in the tunnel selection process. See Chapter 88, Tunnel administrative groups for more information about tunnel administrative groups.

Default tunnel selection profiles

When you enable automatic SDP binding creation on a service, the NFM-P uses the Generated Default TSP for tunnel selection unless you specify a different tunnel selection profile. The Generated Default TSP is configured to use any transport type, and cannot be modified.
