Introduction Enea NFV Access for 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 operating 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. Enea NFV Access for CMC Networks is tailored around the two use cases agreed upon during initial discussions. The current version of Enea NFV Access provides a working and deployable configuration example for the 128T router and the Fortinet Firewall service chained together on a Kontron ME-1100 Xeon-D based platform. This document describes all steps required to replicate the use cases in the customer environment. The information provided will guide the user in reproducing the setup using either the uCPE Manager GUI or the Automation Framework and Test Harness. All VNF configurations should be seen as example configurations made while working in the Enea internal lab. The customer will update these configurations according to his local network setup. Particularities are described in the Appendix chapters. It is assumed that the user is familiar with Enea NFV Access and has studied the official documentation, namely the "Enea NFV Access Getting Started" manual before proceeding with this document.

Definitions and Acronyms Definitions and Acronyms Component Definition uCPE Manager The Enea uCPE Manager is an EMS/NMS platform that provides the VNF Management capabilities for NFV Access devices. The uCPE Manager can be deployed on a Linux (CentOS) based physical or virtual server. Coresident with the uCPE Manager is additional functionality, which includes the Automation Framework. Automation Framework The Automation Framework consists of a set of tools 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 is exposed on the uCPE Manager as a north bound interface.
