ConfD Overview
ConfD is an XML-based software solution for on-device network management. By using ConfD, network equipment vendors can reduce development costs and speed time-to-market while supporting the most advanced network management capabilities in their products.
ConfD is the only XML-based toolkit that allows developers to automatically render the three critical northbound interfaces (NETCONF, Web, and CLI) all from a single data model.
Tail-f Systems customers can choose among different modules of ConfD depending upon their application. ConfD can be used either to extend an existing management system or to implement a new management system. For more information on where ConfD is a good fit, see Customers.
