Service Provider Integration Requirements
Cisco ICFPP is designed to provide a simple programmable cloud adapter interface to ease integration with service
provider cloud platforms. As described in previous sections, most of the southbound adapter interfaces are
straight-forward and adapter developers can develop the interfaces quickly. However, developers must pay
attention to the following five areas:

Deployment Network Topology
As discussed in other sections, the Cisco ICFPP deployment network topology is relatively straight-forward, but it
can vary for different service providers and different cloud platforms.

The guidelines for setting up Cisco ICFPP deployment networks are:
●
Cisco ICFPP must be accessible from the Internet and/or service provider-managed Inter-data center
networks.

●
Service providers can usually expose Cisco ICFPP through a NAT rule configured at a service provider edge

In general, Cisco ICFPP and cloud platforms should be able to communicate to each other so both of them
can initiate management connections with each other.

If the ability to upload and download images is required and Cisco ICFPP and the cloud platform use shared
storage, Cisco ICFPP should be able to reach and access the shared storage networks.
