NETCONF Configuration Protocol
RFC 4741, “NETCONF Configuration Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2006 by R. Enns. It has been obsoleted by RFC 6241 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized on top of a simple Remote Procedure Call (RPC) layer. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
