Question

An engineer requires a solution to automate the configuration and deployment of remote network devices for a customer. The engineer must keep these considerations in mind:

  • The customer's environment is based on industry-accepted standards

and requires a solution that meets these standards.

  • The security requirements mandate the use of a secure transport

mechanism between the automation software and target devices such as SSH or TLS.

  • The solution must be based on a human-readable and easy to parse

format such as XML or JSON. Which solution must be used to meet these requirements?

Options

  • ASNMP
  • BREST API
  • CAnsible
  • DNETCONF

Explanation

NETCONF or Network Configuration Protocol (RFC 6241) is a network management protocol developed and standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The NETCONF protocol defines a simple mechanism through which a network device can be managed, configuration data can be retrieved, and new configuration data can be uploaded and The NETCONF protocol uses Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) for its paradigm. A client encodes an RPC in XML and sends it to a server using a secure, connection-oriented session (such as Secure Shell Protocol [SSH]). The server responds with a reply encoded in XML. faq-en.html#NETCONF
