Your network\u2019s health is crucial for keeping things running smoothly and ensuring you maintain top-notch service availability. At the heart of it all you need a smart network management solution that lets you make quick, automated configurations and stay ahead of potential issues.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest causes of network problems? Human error from manual configuration mistakes. That’s why the tech world is constantly looking for better ways to manage networks more efficiently, dynamically, and\u2014importantly\u2014standardized across different systems.<\/p>\n

Enter Netconf\/YANG, two technologies that have been steadily rising in popularity over the last few years for configuring and automating network devices in a machine-friendly way.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

What Exactly Are Netconf and YANG?<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]In a nutshell, Netconf (Network Configuration Protocol) and YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) are here to simplify network configuration. They were created to fix the limitations of old-school methods like CLI (Command Line Interface) or SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which aren\u2019t really cutting it anymore.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Netconf<\/h3>\nThis is a protocol developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). It helps you configure and manage your network devices securely using XML (Extensible Markup Language) and RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls). Basically, it’s the tool that does the talking between client and server.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

YANG<\/h3>\nThis is a data modeling language. Think of it as a blueprint that describes network devices and their configurations using clear, structured, machine-readable models. It\u2019s like the “what” to Netconf\u2019s “how.”[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Why Do We Need Netconf and YANG?<\/h2>\n

Networks today are way more complicated than they used to be, and they\u2019re only getting bigger and more diverse. You’ve got multi-vendor environments, hybrid setups, and endless demands for speed and flexibility. That\u2019s where automation becomes vital. Manually handling every device across different platforms is a headache you don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

Old methods, like configuring with CLI, are becoming outdated. Not only are they specific to each vendor (meaning you need to create vendor-specific scripts), but they also don\u2019t handle mistakes well. Mess up, and there\u2019s no easy undo button.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why Netconf\/YANG is a game changer:<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Standardization<\/h3>\nSince Netconf and YANG were developed by the IETF, they follow a universal standard. This standardization ensures continuous development so that you are prepared for the future with the solution you use today.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Enhanced Security:<\/h3>\nWith Netconf, you get secure authentication and encryption through protocols like SSH and TLS. So you don\u2019t have to worry about unauthorized access to your configurations.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Transactional Configurations:<\/h3>\nUnlike CLI, where you have to configure each element one at a time, Netconf uses a transactional approach. What does that mean? You can bundle configurations together, and if something goes wrong, you can roll everything back to the original state. No more manual fixes\u2014just reset and go again. This minimizes the risk of downtime and makes managing errors a whole lot easier.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Machine Readability:<\/h3>\nOne of the biggest advantages of Netconf\/YANG is how well it works with automation. Since it\u2019s all machine-readable, it\u2019s perfect for complex, cloud-based environments where you want to automate as much as possible.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]

StableNet\u00ae<\/sup> and Netconf\/YANG<\/h2>\n

Netconf and YANG are becoming essential for future network management, and at StableNet\u00ae<\/sup> we\u2019ve already integrated them into our platform. Starting with the latest StableNet\u00ae<\/sup> 24 Annual Release<\/a>, we introduced the Netconf module through the Module Controller, so now you can update specific parts of the system without needing a full overhaul every time. This means quicker, more efficient updates moving forward.<\/p>\n

StableNet\u00ae<\/sup> was built with automation in mind from day one. Our Network Configuration and Change Management (NCCM) solution<\/a> makes sure that every configuration in your network is consistent, reliable, and repeatable. Now, with Netconf support, we\u2019ve expanded the range of supported devices and technologies to help you stay ahead in today\u2019s fast-evolving network landscape.<\/p>\n

The future of network configuration is here\u2014and it\u2019s automated, secure, and ready for whatever comes next.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”60px|25px||25px|false|false” border_width_right=”4px” border_width_bottom=”4px” border_width_left=”4px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.infosim.net\/stablenet\/network-configuration-and-change\/” button_text=”StableNet\u00ae NCCM Overview” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”gcid-895bdb83-7a67-4d0b-94c0-4dce798c0d42″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-895bdb83-7a67-4d0b-94c0-4dce798c0d42%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93,%22gcid-e048e617-59ef-4759-a91a-4c1c9dfb411e%22:%91%22button_bg_color__hover%22%93}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#e9ab33″ button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.infosim.net\/stablenet\/nccm-use-case\/” button_text=”StableNet\u00ae NCCM Use Case” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”gcid-895bdb83-7a67-4d0b-94c0-4dce798c0d42″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-895bdb83-7a67-4d0b-94c0-4dce798c0d42%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93,%22gcid-e048e617-59ef-4759-a91a-4c1c9dfb411e%22:%91%22button_bg_color__hover%22%93}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#e9ab33″ button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.16.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding=”|25px||25px|false|false” border_width_all=”4px” border_color_all=”#002846″ disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_team_member image_url=”https:\/\/www.infosim.net\/stablenet\/wp-content\/uploads\/5\/2021\/03\/Photo-David-Toumajian_320x400.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”83%” module_alignment=”center” border_color_all=”#E02B20″ border_width_all_image=”1px” border_color_all_image=”#414141″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
