NETCONF Extensions to Support the Network Management Datastore Architecture
draft-ietf-netconf-nmda-netconf-06

Abstract

This document extends the NETCONF protocol defined in RFC 6241 in order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in RFC 8342.

This document updates both RFC 6241 and RFC 7950. The update to RFC 6241 adds new operations <get‑data> and <edit‑data>, and augments existing operations <lock>, <unlock>, and <validate>. The update to RFC 7950 requires the usage of I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis by NETCONF servers implementing the Network Management Datastore Architecture.

RFC Ed.: Please replace "I‑D.ietf‑netconf‑rfc7895bis" above with its final RFC assignment and remove this note.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document extends the NETCONF protocol defined in [RFC6241] in order to support the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in [RFC8342].

This document updates [RFC6241] in order to enable NETCONF clients to interact with all the datastores supported by a server implementing the NMDA. The update both adds new operations <get‑data> and <edit‑data>, and augments existing operations <lock>, <unlock>, and <validate>.

This document also updates [RFC7950] in order to enable NETCONF clients to both discover which datastores are supported by the NETCONF server, as well as determine which modules are supported in each datastore. The update requires NETCONF servers implementing the NMDA to support [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis].

1.1. Terminology

This document uses the terminology defined by the NMDA [RFC8342].

The following term is defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis]:

The keywords "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.

1.2. Tree Diagrams

Tree diagrams used in this document follow the notation defined in [RFC8340].

2. Datastore and YANG Library Requirements

RFC Ed.: Update 201X-XX-XX below with correct date.

An NMDA-compliant NETCONF server MUST support the operational state datastore and it MUST implement at least revision 201X-XX-XX of the "ietf‑yang‑library" module defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis].

A NETCONF client can discover which datastores and YANG modules the server supports by reading the YANG library information from the operational state datastore.

The server MUST advertise the following capability in the <hello> message (line breaks and whitespaces are used for formatting reasons only):

  urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.1?
    revision=<date>&checksum=<checksum-value>
	    

The parameter "revision" has the same value as the revision date of the "ietf‑yang‑library" module implemented by the server. This parameter MUST be present.

The parameter "checksum" contains the YANG library checksum [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis]. This parameter MUST be present.

With this mechanism, a client can cache the supported datastores and YANG modules for a server and only update the cache if the "checksum" value in the <hello> message changes.

This document updates [RFC7950], Section 5.6.4, to allow servers to advertise the capability :yang-library:1.1 instead of :yang-library:1.0, and to implement the subtree "/yang‑library" [I-D.ietf-netconf-rfc7895bis] instead of "/modules‑state".

3. NETCONF Extensions

This section describes the NETCONF extensions needed to support the NMDA. These changes are defined in a new YANG ([RFC7950]) module "ietf‑netconf‑nmda".

These changes include the use of source and target parameters based on the "datastore" identity defined in the "ietf‑datastores" module [RFC8342]. The use of identities allows future expansion in a way that the choice-based strategy from the original operations (e.g., <get‑config>, <edit‑config>) does not.

3.1. New NETCONF Operations

Two new operations <get‑data> and <edit‑data> are defined in this document in order to support the NMDA. These operations are similar to the <get‑config> and <edit‑config> operations but they can work on an extensible set of datastores.

3.1.1. The <get‑data> Operation

The <get‑data> operation retrieves data from a specific NMDA datastore. This operation is similar to NETCONF's <get‑config> operation defined in [RFC6241], but it adds the flexibility to select the source datastore.

+---x get-data
   +---w input
   |  +---w datastore                      ds:datastore-ref
   |  +---w (filter-spec)?
   |  |  +--:(subtree-filter)
   |  |  |  +---w subtree-filter?          <anydata>
   |  |  +--:(xpath-filter)
   |  |     +---w xpath-filter?            yang:xpath1.0 {nc:xpath}?
   |  +---w config-filter?                 boolean
   |  +---w (origin-filters)? {origin}?
   |  |  +--:(origin-filter)
   |  |  |  +---w origin-filter*           or:origin-ref
   |  |  +--:(negated-origin-filter)
   |  |     +---w negated-origin-filter*   or:origin-ref
   |  +---w max-depth?                     union
   |  +---w with-origin?                   empty {origin}?
   |  +---w with-defaults?                 with-defaults-mode
   +--ro output
      +--ro data?   <anydata>
	    

The "datastore" parameter indicates the datastore which is the source of the data to be retrieved. This is a datastore identity.

The <get‑data> operation accepts a content filter parameter, similar to the "filter" parameter of <get‑config>, but using explicit nodes for subtree filtering ("subtree‑filter") and XPath filtering ("xpath‑filter").

The "config‑filter" parameter can be used to retrieve only "config true" or "config false" nodes.

The "origin‑filter" parameter, which can be present multiple times, selects nodes matching any of the given values. The "negated‑origin‑filter", which can be present multiple times, selects nodes that do not match all given values. The "origin‑filter" and "negated‑origin‑filter" parameters cannot be used together.

The "max‑depth" parameter can be used by the client to limit the number of sub-tree levels that are returned in the reply.

3.1.1.1. With-defaults interactions

If the "with‑defaults" capability is supported by the server, then the "with‑defaults" parameter, defined in [RFC6243], is supported for <get‑data> operations that target conventional configuration datastores.

The "with‑defaults" parameter is optional to support for <get‑data> operations that target <operational>. The associated capability to indicate a server's support is identified with the URI:

  urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:with-operational-defaults:1.0
	    

If the "with‑defaults" parameter is supported for <get‑data> operations on <operational>, then all retrieval modes specified in either the 'basic‑mode' or 'also‑supported' parameters of the "with‑defaults" capability are permitted. The behavior of the "with‑defaults" parameter for <operational> is defined as below:

Support for "with‑defaults" in <get‑data> operations on any datastore not defined in [RFC8342] SHOULD be defined by the specification for the datastore.

3.1.1.2. Origin Metadata Attribute

The <get‑data> operation defines a parameter named "with‑origin", which if present, requests that the server includes "origin" metadata annotations in its response, as detailed in the NMDA. This parameter is only valid for the operational state datastore and any datastores with identities derived from the "operational" identity. Otherwise, if an invalid datastore is specified then an error is returned, as specified in "ietf‑netconf‑nmda" (see Section 4). Note that "origin" metadata annotations are not included in a response unless a client explicitly requests them.

Data in the operational state datastore can come from multiple sources. The server should return the most accurate value for the "origin" metadata annotation as possible, indicating the source of the operational value, as specified in Section 5.3.4 of [RFC8342].

When encoding the origin metadata annotation for a hierarchy of returned nodes, the annotation may be omitted for a child node when the value matches that of the parent node, as described in the "ietf‑origin" YANG module [RFC8342].

The "with‑origin" parameter is optional to support. It is identified with the feature "origin".

3.1.1.3. Example: Retrieving an entire subtree from <running>

The following example shows the <get‑data> version of the <get‑config> example shown in Section 7.1 of [RFC6241].

<rpc message-id="101"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <get-data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda"
            xmlns:ds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-datastores">
    <datastore>ds:running</datastore>
    <subtree-filter>
      <top xmlns="http://example.com/schema/1.2/config">
        <users/>
      </top>
    </subtree-filter>
  </get-data>
</rpc>
	    
<rpc-reply message-id="101"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda">
    <top xmlns="http://example.com/schema/1.2/config">
      <users>
        <user>
          <name>root</name>
          <type>superuser</type>
          <full-name>Charlie Root</full-name>
          <company-info>
            <dept>1</dept>
            <id>1</id>
          </company-info>
        </user>
        <!-- additional <user> elements appear here... -->
      </users>
    </top>
  </data>
</rpc-reply>
	    

3.1.2. The <edit‑data> Operation

The <edit‑data> operation changes the contents of a writable datastore, similar to the <edit‑config> operation defined in [RFC6241], but with additional flexibility in naming the target datastore. If an <edit‑data> operation is invoked on a non-writable datastore, then an error is returned, as specified in "ietf‑netconf‑nmda" (see Section 4).

+---x edit-data
   +---w input
      +---w datastore            ds:datastore-ref
      +---w default-operation?   enumeration
      +---w (edit-content)
         +--:(config)
         |  +---w config?        <anydata>
         +--:(url)
            +---w url?           inet:uri {nc:url}?
	    

The "datastore" parameter is a datastore identity that indicates the desired target datastore where changes should be made.

The "default‑operation" parameter is a copy of the "default‑operation" parameter of the <edit‑config> operation.

The "edit‑content" choice mirrors the "edit‑content" choice of the <edit‑config> operation. Note, however, that the "config" element in the "edit‑content" choice of <edit‑data> uses "anydata" (introduced in YANG 1.1) while the "config" element in the "edit‑content" choice of <edit‑config> used "anyxml".

The <edit‑data> operation does not support the "error‑option" and the "test‑option" parameters that were part of the <edit‑config> operation. The error behaviour of <edit‑data> corresponds to the "error‑option" "rollback‑on‑error".

If the "with‑defaults" capability is supported by the server, the semantics of editing modes is the same as for <edit‑config>, as described in section 4.5.2 of [RFC6243].

Semantics for "with‑defaults" in <edit‑data> operations on any non conventional configuration datastores SHOULD be defined by the specification for the datastore.

3.1.2.1. Example: Setting a leaf of an interface in <running>

The following example shows the <edit‑data> version of the first <edit‑config> example in Section 7.2 of [RFC6241], setting the MTU to 1500 on an interface named "Ethernet0/0" in the running configuration datastore.

<rpc message-id="102"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <edit-data xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda"
             xmlns:ds="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-datastores">
    <datastore>ds:running</datastore>
    <config>
      <top xmlns="http://example.com/schema/1.2/config">
        <interface>
          <name>Ethernet0/0</name>
          <mtu>1500</mtu>
        </interface>
      </top>
    </config>
  </edit-data>
</rpc>

	    
<rpc-reply message-id="102"
     xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <ok/>
</rpc-reply>

	    

The other <edit‑config> examples shown in Section 7.2 can be translated to <edit‑data> examples in a similar way.

3.2. Augmentations to NETCONF Operations

Several of the operations defined in the base NETCONF YANG module "ietf‑netconf" [RFC6241] may be used with new datastores. Hence, the <lock>, <unlock>, and <validate> operations are augmented with a new "datastore" leaf that can select the desired datastore. If a <lock>, <unlock>, or <validate> operation is not supported on a particular datastore then an error is returned, as specified in "ietf‑netconf‑nmda" (see Section 4).

5. IANA Considerations

This document registers two capability identifier URNs in the "Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Capability URNs" registry:

  Index
  Capability Identifier
  ---------------------
  :yang-library
  urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:yang-library:1.1

  :with-operational-defaults
  urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:with-operational-defaults:1.0
	    

This document registers a URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration has been made.

  URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda

  Registrant Contact: The IESG.

  XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
	    

This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020].

  name:         ietf-netconf-nmda
  namespace:    urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-netconf-nmda
  prefix:       ncds
  reference:    RFC XXXX
	    

6. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this document extends the base operations of the NETCONF [RFC6241] protocol. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242].

The network configuration access control model [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

The security considerations for the base NETCONF protocol operations (see Section 9 of [RFC6241]) apply to the new NETCONF <get‑data> and <edit‑data> operations defined in this document.
