The goal of this project is to provide a method of configuring networking on generic Linux systems using the Sysrepo NETCONF server implementation.

This repository contains several Sysrepo plugins related to newtork management.

The first, sysrepo-plugin-interfaces is based on the ietf-interfaces YANG module which contains "a collection of YANG definitions for managing network interfaces". More information about the specific YANG module can be found in RFC 7223: A YANG Data Model for Interface Management.

The second, sysrepo-plugin-routing is based on the ietf-routing YANG module which contains "generic components of a routing data model" and ietf-ipv4-unicast-routing and ietf-ipv6-unicast-routing which augment ietf-routing with IPv4 and IPv6 specific data. More information about ietf-routing is available in RFC 8022: A YANG Data Model for Routing Management

Besides the usual C development environment, the following additional dependencies are required:

• libyang
• sysrepo
• pthreads
• netlink
• sysrepo-plugins-common library

First clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/telekom/sysrepo-plugin-interfaces
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Next, create a build directory and generate the build recipes using CMake:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

By default both plugins will be built, but either of them can be disabled by setting the appropriate CMake plugin option to OFF. For example, to build only the routing plugin the following command should be executed instead:

$ cmake -DINTERFACES_PLUGIN=OFF ..

Lastly, invoke the build and install using make:

$ make -j$(nproc)

Plugin will be built as a standalone application and also as a sysrepo-plugind module. For example, for the ietf-interfaces plugin there are two build artifacts:

• ietf-interfaces-plugin: standalone application
• libsrplg-ietf-interfaces.so: sysrepo-plugind module which exposes the plugin init and cleanup callbacks and can be installed by invoking the following command: sysrepo-plugind -P libsrplg-ietf-interfaces.so

The plugins require several YANG modules to be loaded into the Sysrepo datastore and several features need to be enabled. For the interfaces plugin this can be achieved by invoking the following commands:

$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/ieee802-dot1q-types.yang
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-interfaces --enable-feature if-mib
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-if-extensions --enable-feature sub-interfaces

For the routing plugin, the following models have to be installed:

$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected]
$ sysrepoctl -i ./yang/[email protected] -s ./yang
