Scope
Enhance NETCONF support in ONAP supporting 5G and other use cases.
Proposed UC to focus on in Dublin for configuration with NETCONF:
- Post-instantiation (triggered by SO)
- Including final configuration step (36/37) in the PNF PnP UC
- (Stretch goal) Configuration modification (e g triggered by Policy)
Specific requirements on NETCONF support in ONAP:
- Officially support both PNFs and VNFs for north-bound controller APIs in the use cases
- Support for NETCONF over TLS (RFC7589)
- Support for YANG 1.1 (RFC7950) modules in addition to YANG 1.0
Presentations:
Development Status
Planning for the Dublin release is ongoing.
Development Status
Part 1: Protocol support
The first part of the feature focuses on supporting NETCONF/TLS and YANG 1.1 south-bound from the ONAP controller to PNFs and VNFs. OpenDaylight netconf-connector is proposed as the NETCONF client. TLS support has been added in the latest release (Flourine) although bug fixes may be required. One of the ONAP additions will be a run-time mechanism in the controller to configure the keys and certificates used by ODL for NETCONF/TLS.
NETCONF requests could be triggered directly by using the ODL RESTCONF API for testing purposes, or from a directed graph (assuming suitable plugin is available).
