Netconf
*** Shopping-Tip: Netconf
'''Netconf''' is a network management protocol currently being developed in the IETF by the [http://www.ietf.org.html.charters/netconf-charter.html Netconf working group].
The NETCONF protocol provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It also can perform some monitoring functions. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML) based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized on top of a simple Remote Procedure Call (RPC) layer.
NETCONF can be conceptually partitioned into four layers:
