OCNRF Configuration

This section provides configuration steps for OCNRF parameters using CNC Console.

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.

CALLBACK URI

NRF screens the callback URI present in the request before allowing access to management service. Host present in callback URI (FQDN+port or IP+port) must be used for screening. In CALLBACK URI, the attributes that can be modified are FQDN, Port and IP address.

Configuring Callback URI Parameters

To configure Callback URI parameters follow the procedure:

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to NRF and then Screening Rules. Under Screening Rules select CALLBACK URI. The CALLBACK URI screen is displayed.
