Configure a non-NSH-aware service function of type IP
Each SFF has some number of service functions (SFs) associated with it. A service function is the service on a device that processes requests from, and sends responses to, an SFF in a service chain. You must associate a non-NSH-aware service function with an SFF.
-
From the SFC controller menu on the left side of the screen, select Service Functions.
-
In the upper left corner, click Create.
The Create New Service Function screen opens.
-
Type a unique name for the SF.
In our sample configuration, this is
sf1-1. -
From the Service Function Forwarder list, select an SFF.
In our sample configuration, this is
sff1. -
From the NSH Aware list, select No.
-
From the Resource Type list, select IP.
-
Type the IP address of the SF device.
-
From the Ingress Interface and Egress Interface lists, select two interfaces.
In our sample configuration, these are the VLANs that you created as prerequisites, sff-sf-vlan and sf-sff-vlan, respectively.
-
Click Create.
After you complete this step, the SFC controller propagates the SF configuration data you entered to the relevant SFF.
After completing this task, the SFC configuration contains one non-NSH-aware SF. This is the only non-NSH-aware SF required for the sample configuration.
