NETCONF¶
Overview¶
The NETCONF projects hosts multiple components relating to IETF’s NETCONF Working Group:
Northbound and southbound plugins for NETCONF protocol, as described in RFC-6241
Northbound plugin for RESTCONF protocol, as described in RFC-8040
Northnound plugin for descring RESTCONF endpoint in terms of OpenAPI 3.0
Behavior/Feature Changes¶
The odl-restconf-nb-rfc8040 feature has been renamed to odl-restconf-nb.
New Features¶
Support for subscribing to mounted NETCONF devices has been added. See NETCONF-745 for details.
A new RESTCONF query extension has been added. This supports reporting only leaf values which have actually changed. See NETCONF-862 for details.
Deprecated and Removed Features¶
RPC definitions in netconf-node-topology.yang have been deprecated. Their functionality is completely covered
by manipulating the configuration datastore.
