              draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-client-server-01

Abstract

   This document defines two YANG modules, one module to configure a
   RESTCONF client and the other module to configure a RESTCONF server.
   Both modules support the TLS transport protocol with both standard
   RESTCONF and RESTCONF Call Home connections.

1.  Introduction

   This document defines two YANG [RFC6020] modules, one module to
   configure a RESTCONF client and the other module to configure a
   RESTCONF server [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf].  Both modules support
   the TLS [RFC5246] transport protocol with both standard RESTCONF and
   RESTCONF Call Home connections [draft-ietf-netconf-call-home].

1.1.  Terminology

   The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

1.2.  Tree Diagrams

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

   o  Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.

   o  Braces "{" and "}" enclose feature names, and indicate that the
      named feature must be present for the subtree to be present.

   o  Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
      (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).

   o  Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
      means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.

Internet-Draft      RESTCONF Client and Server Models      November 2016

   o  Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
      marked with a colon (":").

   o  Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
      shown.

2.  The RESTCONF Client Model

   EDITOR NOTE: Please ignore this section, it is incomplete.

   The RESTCONF client model presented in this section supports both
   clients initiating connections to servers, as well as clients
   listening for connections from servers calling home.

   This model supports both TLS transport protocols using the TLS client
   groupings defined in [draft-ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].

   All private keys and trusted certificates are held in the keystore
   model defined in [draft-ietf-netconf-keystore].

   YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
   advertise which parts of the model the RESTCONF client supports.

       +--rw restconf-client
          +--rw initiate {tls-initiate}?
          +--rw listen {tls-listen}?

2.2.  Example Usage

   The following example illustrates configuring a RESTCONF client to
   initiate connections, as well as listening for call-home connections.

   This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 2.2
   of [draft-ietf-netconf-keystore].

2.3.  YANG Model

   This YANG module imports YANG types from [RFC6991] and [RFC7407].

3.  The RESTCONF Server Model

   The RESTCONF Server model presented in this section supports servers
   both listening for connections as well as initiating call-home
   connections.

   This model supports the TLS using the TLS server groupings defined in
   [draft-ietf-netconf-tls-client-server].

   All private keys and trusted certificates are held in the keystore
   model defined in [draft-ietf-netconf-keystore].

   YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to
   advertise which parts of the model the RESTCONF server supports.

3.2.  Example Usage

   The following example illustrates configuring a RESTCONF server to
   listen for RESTCONF client connections, as well as configuring call-
   home to one RESTCONF client.

   This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 2.2
   of [draft-ietf-netconf-keystore].
