About the Service Designs Page

The Service Designs page is an inventory of service designs that Paragon Automation provides for provisioning services. The page lists service designs for different services such as L3VPN, to be provisioned in a network. The service designs are listed by name, service type, version number, number of active instances, and so on. Paragon Automation allows you to provision up to three concurrent versions of a service design in a network. One of the three versions is set as the default version.

Note:

You must be a Super User to manage the service design catalog. Network Admins and Observers have read-only access to the inventory.

To access the Service Designs page, click Orchestration > Service Catalog on the navigation menu.
