OCNRF Configuration

Screening Rules

NF Screening supports the functionality to screen the service requests received from 5G Network Functions (NFs) before allowing access to OCNRF services. In this feature, OCNRF screens the incoming service operations from NFs on the basis of some attributes against set of rules configured at OCNRF. OCNRF processes the required services only if screening is successful. This feature provides extra security by restricting the NF that can use the service of OCNRF.

Using the screening lists, operator can decide which NF can access the services provided by OCNRF by configuring attributes based on the requirement.
