1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] data model for Network Time Protocol [RFC5905] implementations.

The data model convers configuration of system parameters of NTP, such as access rules, authentication and VRF binding, and also associations of NTP in different modes and parameters of per-interface. It also provides information about running state of NTP implementations.

1.1. Operational State

NTP Operational State is included in the same tree as NTP configuration, consistent with Network Management Datastore Architecture [I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores]. NTP current state and statistics are also maintained in the operational state. Additionally, the operational state also include the associations state.

1.2. Terminology

1.3. Tree Diagrams

A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows:

• Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
• Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration data (read-write), and "ro" means state data (read-only).
• Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
• Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":").
• Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown.

This document defines the YANG module "ietf-ntp", which has the following structure:

This data model defines two primary containers, one for NTP configuration and the other is for NTP running state. The NTP configuration container includes data nodes for access rules, authentication, associations and interfaces. In the NTP running state container, there are data nodes for system status and associations.

3. Relationship with NTPv4-MIB

If the device implements the NTPv4-MIB [RFC5907], data nodes in container ntp and ntp-state from YANG module can be mapped to table entries in NTPv4-MIB.

The following tables list the YANG data nodes with corresponding objects in the NTPv4-MIB.

YANG NTP State Data Nodes and Related NTPv4-MIB Objects

4. Relationship with RFC7317

This section describes the relationship with NTP definition in Section 3.2 System Time Management of [RFC7317] . YANG data nodes in /ntp/ also supports interface related configurations which is not supported in /system/ntp

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

Name: ietf-ntp

Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ntp

Prefix: ntp

Reference: RFC XXXX

7. Security Considerations

The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.

There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). 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.
