About the Requests Page for the Network Service Designer
Use the Requests page to create and manage requests for new network services. You must create a request before you can design a network service.
A request contains information about the required service, such as:
- The customer’s name.
- The requested functions in the network service. For example, NAT, UTM, and firewall.
- The performance goals for the service.
As soon as you start to design the network service, the request becomes a design, which you track on the Designs page. See About the Designs Page for the Network Service Designer.

- Create requests for new network services. See Creating Requests for Network Services .
