Networking::ProfileMAP¶
Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.6.0
MAP (Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation) is an
IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling protocol to deliver IPv4 unicast service
across an IPv6 infrastructure, by deterministically mapping IPv4
address and port numbers to the underlying server providers&apos IPv6
addresses. As the address mapping information is embedded in the
packet itself, MAP is stateless. A MAP domain consists of BR (Border
Relay) gateways and CE (Customer Edge) devices to provide IPv4 packet
tunneling service. BigIPs can provide the BR functionalities, and the
MAP tunnel interface profile allows you to set up the MAP tunnel
configuration for the MAP BR gateway.
Methods¶
| Method | Description | Introduced |
| create | Creates a set of MAP tunnel profiles. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| delete_all_profiles | Deletes all non-system MAP tunnel profiles. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| delete_profile | Deletes a set of MAP tunnel profiles. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_default_profile | Gets the MAP tunnel profile that is assigned as the default profile from which this set of MAP tunnel profiles inherits its unspecified attribute values. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_description | Gets the descriptions for a set of MAP tunnel profiles. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_ea_bits_length | Gets the MAP domain embedded address bit-lengths for MAP tunnel profiles. The embedded address bit-length is the sum of the IPv4 suffix length and the PSID length of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_ip4_prefix | Gets the MAP domain IPv4 prefixes for the MAP tunnel profiles. The IPv4 prefix of a MAP domain is the common IPv4 network address shared by all CEs of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_ip6_prefix | Gets the MAP domain IPv6 prefixes for the MAP tunnel profiles. The IPv6 prefix of a MAP domain is the common IPv6 network address shared by all CEs of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_list | Gets the names for all MAP tunnel profiles. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_port_offset | Gets the MAP port number offsets for MAP tunnel profiles. The port number offset denotes the offset in the CE-side port number bit-sequence, used to derive the PSID (port set ID) of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| get_version | Gets the version information for this interface. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| is_base_profile | Determines whether the specified MAP tunnel profiles are base profiles. A base profile sits at the base of the profile&aposs inheritance tree, supplying the defaults for every profile derived from it. (See also is_system_profile). | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| is_system_profile | Determines whether the specified MAP tunnel profiles are system profiles. A system profile is a profile pre-configured on the system, ready for use. Non-system profiles are profiles created or modified by a user. Note that if a system profile is modified, it is no longer considered a system profile. (See also is_base_profile). | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_default_profile | Sets an existing MAP tunnel profile as the default profile from which this set of MAP tunnel profiles inherits their unspecified attribute values. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_description | Sets the descriptions for a set of MAP tunnel profiles. This is an arbitrary field which can be used to describe the MAP tunnel profile. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_ea_bits_length | Sets the MAP domain embedded address bit-lengths for MAP tunnel profiles. The embedded address bit-length is the sum of the IPv4 suffix length and the PSID length of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_ip4_prefix | Sets the MAP domain IPv4 prefixes for MAP tunnel profiles. The IPv4 prefix of a MAP domain is the common IPv4 network address shared by all CEs of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_ip6_prefix | Sets the MAP domain IPv6 prefixes for MAP tunnel profiles. The IPv6 prefix of a MAP domain is the common IPv6 network address shared by all CEs of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
| set_port_offset | Sets the MAP port number offsets for MAP tunnel profiles. The port number offset denotes the offset in the CE-side port number bit-sequence, used to derive the PSID (port set ID) of the MAP domain. | BIG-IP_v11.6.0 |
