1. Introduction
This document defines two YANG [RFC7950] modules, one module to
configure a NETCONF [RFC6241] client and the other module to
configure a NETCONF server. Both modules support both NETCONF over
SSH [RFC6242] and NETCONF over TLS [RFC7589] and NETCONF Call Home
connections [RFC8071].

Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2019
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. The NETCONF Client Model
The NETCONF client model presented in this section supports both
clients initiating connections to servers, as well as clients
listening for connections from servers calling home, using either the
SSH and TLS transport protocols.
YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
advertise which potentially uncommon parts of the model the NETCONF
client supports.
3.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram [RFC8340] provides an overview of the data
model for the "ietf-netconf-client" module.
This tree diagram only shows the nodes defined in this module; it
does show the nodes defined by "grouping" statements used by this
module.
Please see Appendix A.1 for a tree diagram that illustrates what the
module looks like with all the "grouping" statements expanded.

3.2. Example Usage
The following example illustrates configuring a NETCONF client to
initiate connections, using both the SSH and TLS transport protocols,
as well as listening for call-home connections, again using both the
SSH and TLS transport protocols.
This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 2
of [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and Section 3.2 of
[I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

The NETCONF server model presented in this section supports both
listening for connections as well as initiating call-home
connections, using either the SSH and TLS transport protocols.
YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
advertise which potentially uncommon parts of the model the NETCONF
server supports.

4.2. Example Usage
The following example illustrates configuring a NETCONF server to
listen for NETCONF client connections using both the SSH and TLS
transport protocols, as well as configuring call-home to two NETCONF
clients, one using SSH and the other using TLS.
This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 2
of [I-D.ietf-netconf-trust-anchors] and Section 3.2 of
[I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].

5. Security Considerations
The YANG module defined in this document uses groupings defined in
[I-D.kwatsen-netconf-tcp-client-server],
[I-D.ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server], and
[I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server]. Please see the Security
Considerations section in those documents for concerns related those
groupings.
The YANG modules defined in this document are designed to be accessed
via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and
RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-
implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual
authentication.
The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means
to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of
all available protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG modules that are
writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the
default). Some of these data nodes may be considered sensitive or
vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g.,
edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a
negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and
data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
None of the subtrees or data nodes in the modules defined in this
document need to be protected from write operations.
Some of the readable data nodes in the YANG modules may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or
notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data
nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
None of the subtrees or data nodes in the modules defined in this
document need to be protected from read operations.
Some of the RPC operations in the YANG modules may be considered
sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus
important to control access to these operations. These are the
operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:
The modules defined in this document do not define any 'RPC' or
'action' statements.

Appendix B. Change Log
B.1. 00 to 01
o Renamed "keychain" to "keystore".
B.2. 01 to 02
o Added to ietf-netconf-client ability to connected to a cluster of
endpoints, including a reconnection-strategy.
o Added to ietf-netconf-client the ability to configure connection-
type and also keep-alive strategy.
o Updated both modules to accommodate new groupings in the ssh/tls
drafts.
B.3. 02 to 03
o Refined use of tls-client-grouping to add a must statement
indicating that the TLS client must specify a client-certificate.
o Changed 'netconf-client' to be a grouping (not a container).

Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2019
B.4. 03 to 04
o Added RFC 8174 to Requirements Language Section.
o Replaced refine statement in ietf-netconf-client to add a
mandatory true.
o Added refine statement in ietf-netconf-server to add a must
statement.
o Now there are containers and groupings, for both the client and
server models.
B.5. 04 to 05
o Now tree diagrams reference ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams
o Updated examples to inline key and certificates (no longer a
leafref to keystore)
B.6. 05 to 06
o Fixed change log missing section issue.
o Updated examples to match latest updates to the crypto-types,
trust-anchors, and keystore drafts.
o Reduced line length of the YANG modules to fit within 69 columns.
B.7. 06 to 07
o Removed "idle-timeout" from "persistent" connection config.
o Added "random-selection" for reconnection-strategy's "starts-with"
enum.
o Replaced "connection-type" choice default (persistent) with
"mandatory true".
o Reduced the periodic-connection's "idle-timeout" from 5 to 2
minutes.
o Replaced reconnect-timeout with period/anchor-time combo.

Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2019
B.8. 07 to 08
o Modified examples to be compatible with new crypto-types algs
B.9. 08 to 09
o Corrected use of "mandatory true" for "address" leafs.
o Updated examples to reflect update to groupings defined in the
keystore draft.
o Updated to use groupings defined in new TCP and HTTP drafts.
o Updated copyright date, boilerplate template, affiliation, and
folding algorithm.
B.10. 09 to 10
o Reformatted YANG modules.
B.11. 10 to 11
o Adjusted for the top-level "demux container" added to groupings
imported from other modules.
o Added "must" expressions to ensure that keepalives are not
configured for "periodic" connections.
o Updated the boilerplate text in module-level "description"
statement to match copyeditor convention.
o Moved "expanded" tree diagrams to the Appendix.
B.12. 11 to 12
o Removed the "Design Considerations" section.
o Removed the 'must' statement limiting keepalives in periodic
connections.
o Updated models and examples to reflect removal of the "demux"
containers in the imported models.
o Updated the "periodic-connnection" description statements to be
more like the RESTCONF draft, especially where it described
dropping the underlying TCP connection.

Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2019
o Updated text to better reference where certain examples come from
(e.g., which Section in which draft).
o In the server model, commented out the "must 'pinned-ca-certs or
pinned-client-certs'" statement to reflect change made in the TLS
draft whereby the trust anchors MAY be defined externally.
o Replaced the 'listen', 'initiate', and 'call-home' features with
boolean expressions.
B.13. 12 to 13
o Updated to reflect changes in trust-anchors drafts (e.g., s/trust-
anchors/truststore/g + s/pinned.//)
