1.2.1                   BaseConfigGroup

Every Vnf contains a BaseConfigGroup.   BaseConfigGroup may set Access Control Lists (ACL's) and establish security groups and server groups. BaseConfigGroup reates/establishs storage for the VM's (OpenStack Cinder). BaseConfigGroup may establish internal networks such as OAM (VNF Mgmt) or MNS (Maintenance & Surveillance)   established.  A very simple VNF may only have a BaseConfig VnfElementGroup.
