NETCONF Data Modeling Language (netmod) --------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2010-10-26 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): David Kessens Juergen Schoenwaelder Operations and Management Area Director(s): Dan Romascanu Ronald Bonica Operations and Management Area Advisor: Dan Romascanu Mailing Lists: General Discussion:netmod@ietf.org To Subscribe: netmod-request@ietf.org In Body: In msg body: subscribe Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netmod/ Description of Working Group: The NETCONF Working Group has completed a base protocol to be used for configuration management. However, the NETCONF protocol does not include a modeling language or accompanying rules that can be used to model the management information that is to be configured using NETCONF. The NETMOD working group has defined the data modeling language YANG but no IETF models exist yet. The purpose of the NETMOD working group is to support the ongoing deployment of YANG by developing a set of core YANG data models and other activities that will allow network operators to use YANG for configuration and management of network elements. The NETMOD Working Group will initially work on the following items: 1. Core system data model 2. Core interface data model 3. Core routing data model that can be augmented with routing protocol specifics. This requires appropriate active editorial participation from routing experts and review at WGLC by the Routing Area working group. 4. SMIv2 translation to YANG for read-only operational data and notifications. Guidance will be provided on how to reference existing data structures in SMIv2 from YANG. The NETMOD Working Group will not work on another version of YANG. All new charter items must be fully interoperable with implementations of RFC 4741bis and/or RFC 6020. It will also not serve as a review team for YANG modules developed by other working groups. The WG will consult with the NETCONF working group to ensure that NETMOD's decision do not conflict with planned work in NETCONF. Goals and Milestones: Done All _individual_ drafts available that will be used as input into the WG documents (draft-bjorklund-yang, architecture draft, YIN draft, YANG standard library draft, DSDL mapping rules draft) Done Initial set of WG drafts: architecture, YANG, YIN, YANG standard library, DSDL mapping rules (if there is one/more individual draft), based on WG decisions in Dublin Done Initial DSDL mapping rules document Done 01 of YANG, DSDL, architecture, YIN, and standard library draft. If split out, -00 of on-the-wire XML draft. Done Initial YANG Usage guidelines document available as a working group document Done WGLC for YANG, YIN, XML on-the-wire (if split out), YANG standard library, DSDL mapping rules Done Submit YANG, YIN, XML on-the-wire (if split out), YANG standard library, DSDL mapping rules to the IESG for publication as a Proposed Standard Mar 2010 WGLC for architecture document, DSDL mapping rules, YANG Usage Guidelines Apr 2010 Submit the architecture document, YANG Usage Guidelines to the IESG for publication as an Informational RFC Apr 2010 Submit DSDL mapping rules to the IESG for publication as a Proposed Standard Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Feb 2009 Oct 2010 Mapping YANG to Document Schema Definition Languages and Validating NETCONF Content Mar 2009 Sep 2010 An Architecture for Network Management using NETCONF and YANG May 2009 Oct 2010 Guidelines for Authors and Reviewers of YANG Data Model Documents Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC6021 PS Oct 2010 Common YANG Data Types RFC6020 PS Oct 2010 YANG - A Data Modeling Language for the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)
