Configuring Locality for NF Types

The SMF provides locality aware NF discovery.

Use the following configuration to configure locality for NF types.

configure 
   profile nf-pair nf-type nf_type locality { client client_name   
   | geo-server geo_server_name | preferred-server preferred_server_name } 
   end 

NOTES:

  • client client_name : Specifies the client locality information. Client locality is the SMF's locality and is a mandatory parameter.

  • geo-server geo_server_name : Specifies the geo-server locality information. Geo-server locality is geo redundant site for the preferred locality and is generally used as the next best server locality after preferred locality, during NF discovery.

  • preferred-server preferred_server_name : Specifies the preferred server locality information. Preferred server locality is the locality that should be considered as the locality of preference during the corresponding NF discovery.
