Scaling profiles on the VSR

To meet flexible scaling requirements in common compute platforms, operators can use the CLI to select VSR-NAT scaling profiles that correspond to the amount of memory allocated in the VM.

The following scaling profiles have predefined upper scaling limits and are available for VSR-NAT and IPv6 FW:

The default scaling profile is profile1.

Contact your Nokia representative for more information about NAT scaling figures in each profile.

For the number of required CPU control cores on a VSR-I in relation to profiles, see to the Sysinfo section in the Virtualized Service Router Installation and Setup Guide.

For the amount of required memory on VSR-I in relation to profiles, see Software Release Notes, section VM Memory Requirements by Function Mix.

Scaling profiles are applied under the following CLI hierarchy:

Classic CLI

*A:cses-V22# configure isa
*A:cses-V22>config>isa# nat-group 1 create
*A:cses-V22>config>isa>nat-group# scaling-profile
  - scaling-profile <scaling-profile-id>
 <scaling-profile-id> : {profile1|profile2}

MD-CLI

*[pr:/configure isa nat-group 1]
A:admin@cses-V27# scaling-profile ?
 scaling-profile <keyword>
 <keyword>  - {profile1|profile2}
 Default    - profile1

    Warning: Modifying this element toggles
    'configure isa nat-group 1 admin-state' automatically for the new value to
    take effect.
    Warning: Modifying this element clears ISA state, such as flow state, for
    the new value to take effect.
