NetConf is a software tool that provides a mechanism to configure and manage remote network devices seamlessly. It uses a simple Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism to facilitate communication between a client and a server.

During the OcNOS installation, the NetConf subsystem called “netconf” is installed. It runs on the default access port 830 over SSH and port 6513 over TLS.

Typically, these default access ports are not configurable and controlled. The NetConf port access control feature enhancement ensures that the Netconf-SSH and NetConf-TLS port access can be controlled and configurable through CLIs

For more information, refer to NetConf Port Access Control section in OcNOS Key Feature document, Release 6.4.1.
