Introduction This document defines two YANG [RFC7950] modules, one module to configure a NETCONF client and the other module to configure a NETCONF server. Both modules support both the SSH and TLS transport Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 protocols, and support both standard NETCONF and NETCONF Call Home connections. NETCONF is defined by [RFC6241]. SSH is defined by [RFC4252], [RFC4253], and [RFC4254]. TLS is defined by [RFC5246]. NETCONF Call Home is defined by [RFC8071]). 1.1. Terminology The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 1.2. Tree Diagrams A simplified graphical representation of the data models is used in this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as follows: o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys. o Braces "{" and "}" enclose feature names, and indicate that the named feature must be present for the subtree to be present. o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only). o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!" means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list. o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also marked with a colon (":"). o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not shown. 2. The NETCONF Client Model The NETCONF client model presented in this section supports both clients initiating connections to servers, as well as clients listening for connections from servers calling home. This model supports both the SSH and TLS transport protocols, using the SSH client and TLS client groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server] and [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server] respectively. Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 All private keys and trusted certificates are held in the keystore model defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore]. YANG feature statements are used to enable implementations to advertise which parts of the model the NETCONF client supports. 2.1.

Design Considerations Editorial: this section is a hold over from before, previously called "Objectives". It was only written two support the "server" (not the "client"). The question is if it's better to add the missing "client" parts, or remove this section altogether. The primary purpose of the YANG modules defined herein is to enable the configuration of the NETCONF client and servers. This scope includes the following objectives: 4.1. Support all NETCONF transports The YANG module should support all current NETCONF transports, namely NETCONF over SSH [RFC6242], NETCONF over TLS [RFC7589], and to be extensible to support future transports as necessary. Because implementations may not support all transports, the modules should use YANG "feature" statements so that implementations can accurately advertise which transports are supported. 4.2. Enable each transport to select which keys to use Servers may have a multiplicity of host-keys or server-certificates from which subsets may be selected for specific uses. For instance, a NETCONF server may want to use one set of SSH host-keys when listening on port 830, and a different set of SSH host-keys when calling home. The data models provided herein should enable configuration of which keys to use on a per-use basis. Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 37] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 4.3. Support authenticating NETCONF clients certificates When a certificate is used to authenticate a NETCONF client, there is a need to configure the server to know how to authenticate the certificates. The server should be able to authenticate the client's certificate either by using path-validation to a configured trust anchor or by matching the client-certificate to one previously configured. 4.4. Support mapping authenticated NETCONF client certificates to usernames When a client certificate is used for TLS client authentication, the NETCONF server must be able to derive a username from the authenticated certificate. Thus the modules defined herein should enable this mapping to be configured. 4.5. Support both listening for connections and call home The NETCONF protocols were originally defined as having the server opening a port to listen for client connections. More recently the NETCONF working group defined support for call-home ([RFC8071]), enabling the server to initiate the connection to the client. Thus the modules defined herein should enable configuration for both listening for connections and calling home. Because implementations may not support both listening for connections and calling home, YANG "feature" statements should be used so that implementation can accurately advertise the connection types it supports. 4.6. For Call Home connections The following objectives only pertain to call home connections. 4.6.1. Support more than one NETCONF client A NETCONF server may be managed by more than one NETCONF client. For instance, a deployment may have one client for provisioning and another for fault monitoring. Therefore, when it is desired for a server to initiate call home connections, it should be able to do so to more than one client. 4.6.2. Support NETCONF clients having more than one endpoint A NETCONF client managing a NETCONF server may implement a high- availability strategy employing a multiplicity of active and/or passive endpoint. Therefore, when it is desired for a server to initiate call home connections, it should be able to connect to any of the client's endpoints. Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 38] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 4.6.3. Support a reconnection strategy Assuming a NETCONF client has more than one endpoint, then it becomes necessary to configure how a NETCONF server should reconnect to the client should it lose its connection to one the client's endpoints. For instance, the NETCONF server may start with first endpoint defined in a user-ordered list of endpoints or with the last endpoints it was connected to. 4.6.4. Support both persistent and periodic connections NETCONF clients may vary greatly on how frequently they need to interact with a NETCONF server, how responsive interactions need to be, and how many simultaneous connections they can support. Some clients may need a persistent connection to servers to optimize real- time interactions, while others prefer periodic interactions in order to minimize resource requirements. Therefore, when it is necessary for server to initiate connections, it should be configurable if the connection is persistent or periodic. 4.6.5. Reconnection strategy for periodic connections The reconnection strategy should apply to both persistent and periodic connections. How it applies to periodic connections becomes clear when considering that a periodic "connection" is a logical connection to a single server. That is, the periods of unconnectedness are intentional as opposed to due to external reasons. A periodic "connection" should always reconnect to the same server until it is no longer able to, at which time the reconnection strategy guides how to connect to another server. 4.6.6. Keep-alives for persistent connections If a persistent connection is desired, it is the responsibility of the connection initiator to actively test the "aliveness" of the connection. The connection initiator must immediately work to reestablish a persistent connection as soon as the connection is lost. How often the connection should be tested is driven by NETCONF client requirements, and therefore keep-alive settings should be configurable on a per-client basis. 4.6.7. Customizations for periodic connections If a periodic connection is desired, it is necessary for the NETCONF server to know how often it should connect. This frequency determines the maximum amount of time a NETCONF client may have to wait to send data to a server. A server may connect to a client Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 39] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 before this interval expires if desired (e.g., to send data to a client). 5. Security Considerations A denial of service (DoS) attack MAY occur if the NETCONF server limits the maximum number of NETCONF sessions it will accept (i.e. the 'max-sessions' field in the ietf-netconf-server module is not zero) and either the "hello-timeout" or "idle-timeout" fields in ietf-netconf-server module have been set to indicate the NETCONF server should wait forever (i.e. set to zero). The YANG module defined in this document uses groupings defined in [I-D.ietf-netconf-ssh-client-server] and [I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server]. Please see the Security Considerations section in those documents for concerns related those groupings. The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040]. Both of these protocols have mandatory-to- implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication. The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content. There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: NONE Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: NONE Some of the RPC operations in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus Watsen, et al. Expires December 15, 2017 [Page 40] Internet-Draft NETCONF Client and Server Models June 2017 important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability: NONE 6. IANA Considerations 6.1. The IETF XML Registry This document registers two URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].

Change Log A.1. server-model-09 to 00 o This draft was split out from draft-ietf-netconf-server-model-09. o Added in previously missing ietf-netconf-client module. o Added in new features 'listen' and 'call-home' so future transports can be augmented in. A.2. 00 to 01 o Renamed "keychain" to "keystore". A.3. 01 to 02 o Added to ietf-netconf-client ability to connected to a cluster of endpoints, including a reconnection-strategy. o Added to ietf-netconf-client the ability to configure connection- type and also keep-alive strategy. o Updated both modules to accomodate new groupings in the ssh/tls drafts. A.4. 02 to 03 o Refined use of tls-client-grouping to add a must statement indicating that the TLS client must specify a client-certificate. o Changed 'netconf-client' to be a grouping (not a container).
