"Partial Lock RPC for NETCONF", Balazs Lengyel, Martin Bjorklund, 3-Jul-09. ( bytes)

The NETCONF protocol defines the lock and unlock RPCs, used to lock entire configuration datastores. In some situations, a way to lock only parts of a configuration datastore is required. This document defines a capability-based extension to the NETCONF protocol for locking portions of a configuration datastore.

"NETCONF Monitoring Schema", Mark Scott, Martin Bjorklund, Sharon Chisholm, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This document defines a NETCONF data model (in XML Schema) to be used to monitor the NETCONF protocol. The monitoring data model includes information about NETCONF datastores, sessions, locks and statistics. This data facilitates the management of a NETCONF server. This document also defines methods for NETCONF clients to discover data models supported by a NETCONF server and defines a new NETCONF operation to retrieve them.

"With-defaults capability for NETCONF", Andy Bierman, Balazs Lengyel, 5-Aug-09. ( bytes)

The NETCONF protocol defines ways to read configuration data from a NETCONF server. Part of this data is not set by the NETCONF client, but rather a default value is used. In many situations the NETCONF client has a priori knowledge about default data, so the NETCONF server does not need to send it to the client. In other situations the NETCONF manger will need this data as part of the NETCONF messages. This document defines a capability-based extension to the NETCONF protocol that allows the NETCONF client to control whether default values are part of NETCONF messages.

"NETCONF Configuration Protocol", Rob Enns, Martin Bjorklund, Juergen Schoenwaelder, Andy Bierman, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. 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.
