| Mediator |
| ======== |
| |
| A 'Mediator' provides an external - to the physical network function - |
| OAM interface. |
| |
| Some physical network function manufactures use the |
| `generic mediator |
| framework <https://github.com/Melacon/NetConf2SNMP>`__. Such mediators |
| offer a management API to control mediator function. |
| |
| New mediator servers can be added via the '+' button. Afterward, a |
| server can be selected to view all available mediator instances. |
| |
| A mediator instance can be started, stopped and deleted using the |
| available actions. Additionally, its details can be viewed. The '+' |
| button allows the user to add a new instance. During the creation, at |
| least one 'ODL auto connect' configuration must be added. |
