The NFV Access EvalKit offered by Enea contains software that can be used to deploy an SD-WAN setup. The branch-to-branch setup uses two opensource based VNFs: flexiWAN and pfSense. These VNFs are provided as examples and the configuration used only works on the documented setup. Enea NFV Access for the universal Customer Premise Equipment (uCPE) is a virtualization and management platform, which allows end-users to introduce, instantiate, and run third-party VNFs onto their systems. The solution is comprised of two major components working in close cooperation: The Enea NFV Access Run-Time Platform, which acts as the host for Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and provides management over NETCONF. The Enea uCPE Manager, a solution that runs on an external server, providing VNF Management functionality and managing large numbers of uCPEs. The current Enea NFV Access solution provides a working and deployable configuration as an example for branch-to-branch connection setup using the flexiWAN and pfSense VNFs service chained together on a uCPE device. This document will present all information required to replicate the use case described in the user's environment. The first part of this manual uses the GUI mode of the uCPE Manager to detail the steps in order to reproduce the use cases, while the chapters thereafter use the automation framework. All VNF configurations should be seen as example configurations working in Enea internal lab and the user must update these files with the configuration data needed according to his network setup. Particularities are described in Appendix A. This document assumes the user is familiar with Enea NFV Access and has read the Enea NFV Access Getting Started manual before continuing with the following.

The Enea uCPE Manager is an EMS/NMS platform providing VNF Management capabilities for NFV Access devices. The uCPE Manager can be deployed on a Linux (CentOS) based physical or virtual server.

The Automation Framework consists of a set of tooling and a collection of Python based scripts that can be used to automate the process of onboarding a VNF with all of the required configuration for day zero deployment at scale. This tooling calls the auto generated REST API that's exposed on the uCPE Manager as a north bound interface.
