Question: In a 3GPP-compliant Management and Orchestration (MnS) setup for file transfers, what role is mandated for the MnS producer regarding file transfer actions?
Option 1: The MnS producer shall always act as the initiator (client).
Option 2: The MnS producer may choose to act as either the server or the client.
Option 3: The roles of server and client are dynamically assigned based on the specific file transfer protocol used.
Option 4: The MnS producer shall always act as the server while the MnS consumer acts as the initiator (client).
Explanation: This is correct because, according to the specifications, in a MnS setup, the producer (the entity providing the management services) is required to consistently assume the role of the server for file transfer actions. Conversely, the consumer (the entity utilizing these services) always initiates these actions as the client. This clear delineation of roles ensures consistency and predictability in the management and orchestration of telecom networks, particularly in secure file transfers.
