Using the NETCONF Protocol over Transport Layer Security with Mutual X.509 Authentication
RFC 7589, “Using the NETCONF Protocol over Transport Layer Security with Mutual X.509 Authentication”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2015 by M. Badra, A. Luchuk, J. Schoenwaelder. It obsoletes RFC 5539. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. This document describes how to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol with mutual X.509 authentication to secure the exchange of NETCONF messages. This revision of RFC 5539 documents the new message framing used by NETCONF 1.1 and it obsoletes RFC 5539.
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.
