ConfD NETCONF
ConfD NETCONF is based on the NETCONF protocol in RFCs 4741 and 4742 and in addition to implementing the NETCONF protocol, it provides a complete mapping from NETCONF operations to configuration database operations.
ConfD NETCONF provides developers with the fastest path to adding NETCONF to the existing applications and a rock-solid technology to build XML-based configuration management for new applications.
ConfD NETCONF supports operating on candidate configurations, where all changes are committed to an active state in one atomic transaction. If the commit fails, a rollback to the previous configuration is performed.
- Full NETCONF implementation including optional capabilities
- Support for transaction validations and rollbacks
- NETCONF Event Notifications
- NETCONF Partial Locking
- NETCONF interface is auto rendered from a single ConfD XML data model
- Exported configuration data is described in an optimized XML schema
- Gateway function providing a southbound client interface that enables ConfD to aggregate multiple NETCONF devices into a single configuration
- Ability to declare operations in the configuration specification language - for example, starting and stopping network interfaces
- Separation between NETCONF agent and data model
- Support for SSHv2 as transport protocol
- API for integration with any configuration data storage
- Integrated with AAA servers (direct support for Linux PAM)
- All data is streamed allowing large configurations to be installed or retrieved
