NETCONF and YANG
Brocade Network OS provides support for the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and the
YANG data modeling language. Using Extensible Markup Language (XML) constructs, the NETCONF
protocol provides the ability to manipulate configuration data and view state data modeled in
YANG. NETCONF uses a client/server architecture in which remote procedure calls (RPCs)
manipulate the modeled data across a secure transport, such as Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2).
NETCONF provides mechanisms through which you can perform the following operations:
• Manage network devices
• Retrieve configuration data and operational state data
• Upload and manipulate configurations
