How it Works

This section describes how this feature works.

After the admin associates an IP address to a network function such as PCF, a new endpoint is linked to the network function through the rest-ep service. This service enables you to connect to the pcf-rest-ep pod.

You can configure multiple IP address for the N5, N7, N36, N28, and Nnrf interfaces. During this process, an individual K8 service resource of type Load Balancer is created for each interface that communicates with the rest-endpoint pod. These IP addresses get listed in the ExternalIP property of the K8 service.

PCF supports multiple IP service communications with one replica of the rest-endpoint pod.
