The NETCONF protocol is a modern building block for device management automation, offering a unified approach to network configuration, rather than a device-specific methodology. To equipment vendors, NETCONF is a way to standardize the management interface of network elements. To service providers, NETCONF is a way to optimize the administrative workflow, by moving management intelligence out of the device under management, and consolidating this management into higher-level applications.This paper provides a brief overview of NETCONF, presents its commands and operations, describes how the protocol works in a series of practical scenarios, and describes its sophisticated configuration capabilities.
