How do I create a service tunnel?
Purpose
Use this procedure to create a new service tunnel. Brownfield service tunnels, created previously in NFM-P or on MDM-managed nodes, can be discovered by NSP and used by services, but their properties cannot be modified from the NSP's service management views. They can, however, have steering parameters applied to them, and have workflows executed on them.
The set of parameters that are available to you during service tunnel creation is dependant on the intent type that is associated with the tunnel template you select, and may differ from those described in this procedure, which assumes the Nokia-provided tunnel template is being used.
