Technical Summary
NETCONF gives access to native capabilities of the devices within a
network, defining methods for manipulating configuration databases,
retrieving operational data, and invoking specific operations. YANG
provides the means to define the content carried via NETCONF, both
data and operations. Using both technologies, standard modules can
be defined to give interoperability and commonality to devices, while
still allowing devices to express their unique capabilities.
This document describes how NETCONF and YANG help build network
management applications that meet the needs of network operators.
