NETCONF Extensions to Support the Network Management Datastore Architecture
RFC 8526, “NETCONF Extensions to Support the Network Management Datastore Architecture”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2019 by M. Bjorklund, J. Schoenwaelder, P. Shafer, K. Watsen, R. Wilton. It updates RFC 6241, RFC 7950. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document extends the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in RFC 6241 in order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342.
This document updates RFCs 6241 and 7950. The update to RFC 6241 adds new <get-data> and <edit-data> operations and augments existing <lock>, <unlock>, and <validate> operations. The update to RFC 7950 requires the usage of the YANG library (described in RFC 8525) by NETCONF servers implementing the NMDA.
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.
