  1. 68th IETF meeting NGO BoF VLAN data model for NETCONF (draft-iijima-ngo-vlandatamodel-00) Thursday, March 22, 2007 Tomoyuki Iijima, Kunihiko Toumura, Hideki Okita (Hitachi Central Research Lab) Yoshifumi Atarashi, Hiroyasu Kimura (Alaxala Networks)

  2. Proposed goals for NGO WG • Investigate NETCONF architecture which can collaborate with other operation sub-systems and application systems. • Publish guidelines for NETCONF application developers. • Publish data model over NETCONF to exchange configuration data between NETCONF applications and network devices.

  3. NETCONF data model • NETCONF standardization process has almost finished. • To discuss NETCONF data model, NGO (NETCONF Goes On) BoF was established after the 67th meeting. Content Configuration data Modeling has not been done. Operations <get-config>, <edit-config> RFC4741 RPC <rpc>, <rpc-reply> Transport Protocol SSH, SOAP, BEEP RFC4742, 4743, 4744 NETCONF layer

  4. Benefits of NETCONF data model • Interoperability • Vendors can exchange NETCONF message based on the defined data model. • Extensibility • If data modeling is done visually, it is easy to grasp the structure and relations of each configuration data, which makes it easier to append a new configuration data to the existing data model.

  5. Things to be considered regarding data model interoperability • Rough data model is enough • You can transform data model into another one, thanks to the features of XML technology. • XML schema • XSLT • Standardized XML parser available • Future extensibility has to be taken into account • There should be no compatibility problem by future extension.

  6. Network functions to be modeled • We extracted network functions to be modeled from a typical network. • Filtering (ACL) • Routing • Filtering (ACL) • Routing Internet Enterprise network ISP • Filtering (ACL) • VRRP VLAN Home

  7. Configuration data required to be incorporated • We incorporated following configuration data into each network function’s data model.

  14. Expected issue in the NGO WG • Which schema should be used to express a data model? • Assumptions • Expected target users of data model • Network Operators • Network Management System Developers • Network Device Developers • Development efficiency is the most important point • XML Development Environment • Applicability to OOP concept

  15. Comparison between XSD and Relax NG • Available XML Development Environment • Developers/Operators use XML API and do not directly treat raw XML data. (Raw XML data is an intermediate expression for them) • Major Development Environment in Web app. world seem to support W3C Schema, not RelaxNG. • Applicability to OOP concept • OOP Language like C++ or Java is suitable for XML data processing. • JDK supports W3C Schema by default. Red: major development environments in the Web app. world

  16. NETCONF application example • VLAN assignment app. for video streaming Video Server VLAN 100 Operator using Configuration Application VLAN 100 assign by NETCONF request • Port 0/7 • Port VLAN NETCONF reply Configuration application implementing VLAN APIs User A

  17. Implementation example What developers write: What goes on wire: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <rpc message-id="395"> <edit-config xsi:type="ns1:editConfigType" xmlns:ns1="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <target> <running xmlns=""></running> </target> <config> <ns2:Vlans xmlns:ns2="urn:net:alaxala:oan:onapi:commons:netmod:1.0"> <ns2:Vlan operation="delete"> <VlanId xmlns="">0100</VlanId> <VlanName xmlns="">VLAN0100</VlanName> <TaggedPort xmlns=""> <PortId>port 0/7</PortId> <Type>UNTAGGED_PORT</Type> </TaggedPort> </ns2:Vlan> </ns2:Vlans> </config> </edit-config> </rpc> </rpc> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> public class AxConfig { private static short authedVlanId =100; // … public boolean setPortVlan(int portNum) { // … try { Vlan vlan = new Vlan(); vlan.setVlanid(authedVlanId); UntaggedPort utport = new UntaggedPort(); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("port 0/"); sb.append(portNum); String[] strs = { sb.toString() }; utport.setPortid(strs); vlan.setUntaggedPort(utport); vlanImpl.editConfigMerge(vlan); } catch (Exception e) { // … } } }

  18. Implementation Example (cont.)

  19. Proposal to INTAP/OSMIC • We proposed our data model to INTAP/OSMIC and it was accepted as a reference data model. • INTAP (Interoperability Technology Association for Information Processing) • Organization established by Japanese government. • Promote progress of information technologies. • OSMIC (Open Systems Management Industry Collaboration) • INTAP’s sub-committee. • Implement and evaluate interoperability among implementations of multiple vendors.

  20. Conclusion • We showed our VLAN data model as a reference in order to stimulate NETCONF data model discussion. • We would like to request this I-D to be accepted as an informational I-D for a future scope of NGO WG. • Let’s start NGO WG!!
