Scaling profiles for NAT on ESA

NAT on ESA offers two scaling profiles, each of them adapted to the amount of memory allocated to the VM.

• profile1

  A lower scaling profile that requires 8 CPU cores and 32 GB of DRAM memory per ESA-VM.

• profile2

  A medium scaling profile that requires 11 CPU cores and 96 GB of DRAM memory per ESA-VM.

• profile3

  A high scaling profile that requires 15 CPU cores and 115 GB of DRAM memory per ESA-VM.

The default scaling profile is profile1.

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

Scaling profiles are configurable 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|profile3}

MD-CLI

*[pr:/configure isa nat-group 1]
