<title>Introduction</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para>The solution is comprised of two major components working in close
cooperation:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea NFV Access Run-Time Platform, which acts as the host for
Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) and provides management over
NETCONF.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The Enea uCPE Manager, a solution that runs on an external server,
providing VNF Management functionality and managing large numbers of
uCPEs.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<note>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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.</para>

<title>uCPE Manager</title>
<para>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.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Automation Framework</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>This tooling calls the auto generated REST API that's exposed on
the uCPE Manager as a north bound interface.</para>
