Prerequisites

Network configuration prerequisites

Before services can be configured and managed in NSP, the network configuration prerequisites must be met. The following table describes the requirements that can apply to service use cases, and indicates whether each prerequisite is required for this use case.

Note: The NE must be discovered in NSP as a prerequisite to start the Day/Phase 1 configuration. NSP Intents have been used for NE configuration in Day/Phase 1 in most of the places in this chapter. Where an NSP intent type is not available, CLI or MD-CLI must be used to perform configuration on the device.
