NetConf User Guide
Overview
The OcNOS NetConf User Guide provides a comprehensive reference for using the NetConf protocol to manage and automate configuration on OcNOS-based network devices. It explains how OcNOS implements NetConf, how to interact with the device using standard NetConf operations, and uses data model-based XML Payloads for programmatic configuration, retrieval, and state management.
This guide describes how NetConf integrates with the OcNOS management architecture, including details on session establishment, capability negotiation, configuration data stores, and operational state access. It includes conceptual overviews, procedural examples, configuration snippets, and command-level explanations to help users understand NetConf behavior on OcNOS devices.
Target Users
This guide is intended for:
• Network automation engineers implementing programmatic device configuration.
• Platform administrators integrating OcNOS into higher-level management systems.
• Developers building orchestration tools and systems that interact with OcNOS via NetConf.
• Support and operations engineers troubleshooting NetConf sessions and data retrieval.
• Technical planners evaluating management interfaces and automation strategy.
Key Capabilities
This guide enables users to:
• Understand the fundamentals of the NetConf protocol and how OcNOS implements it.
• Establish and manage NetConf sessions with OcNOS devices.
• Explore OcNOS-supported capabilities, including <get>, <edit-config>, <get-config>, and subscription mechanisms.
• Read and modify configuration using XML payloads based on data models.
• Access operational state and event data via NetConf requests.
• Provide examples of general NetConf operations using sample XML payloads.
• Apply best practices for secure and reliable NetConf interactions with OcNOS.
