Pointers to NETCONF client implementations

[Jan Lindblad]

I got this question by mail and responded. Then I realized it might be of wider interest, so here it is.

Are there any other tools out there for Netconf/YANG  configuration that we can play with? 

NETCONF clients aka. managers, you mean? There are a few. NSO and ODL are the big systems, and many commercial management/monitoring systems claim some support. Open source there is JNC (https://github.com/tail-f-systems/JNC), NCClient (https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient). MG-SOFT has a browser and studio environment (http://www.mg-soft.com/mgNetConfBrowser.html). Inside Cisco there's YTOOL (https://cisco.jiveon.com/docs/DOC-1040088). IETF maintains a page with NETCONF related implementations (https://trac.ietf.org/trac/netconf/wiki).

It is important to see the wider NETCONF ecosystem.  Thanks for sharing.

We also have tools like the YDK:

And samples of code wrapped in simple CLI utilities for getting ands setting configure, getting operational data and working with schemas that use the Python ncclient library:

Hi Einar,

Is there any plan to expand YDK for Java support? I know there are ODL tools but I prefer YDK packaging.

Thanks Einar! I was thinking of YDK when I wrote YTOOL, but I realize now they are two distinct things. Thanks for chiming in.
