Netconf Plugin

cloudify-netconf-plugin

Cloudify plugin for serializing TOSCA node templates to netconf configuration.

Features

Full support for:

Partial support (only in use case of DSL validation):

Not supported:

For check generation: * install tools/setup.py and yttc from https://github.com/cloudify-cosmo/yttc * xml to yaml: netconfxml2yaml.py cloudify-netconf-plugin/tools/examples/rpc.xml * yaml to xml: yaml2netconfxml.py cloudify-netconf-plugin/tools/examples/rpc.yaml * generate parent yaml blueprint for include: cd tools/examples yttc turing-machine.yang

Vyatta example is valid only for Brocade Vyatta Network OS 4.1 R2 and before run vyatta blueprint run as root on router: * cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-keys/ * bash gen-sample-keys.sh

Script name can be different and related to Brocade vRouter version.

Authentication

Each node template, has a netconf_auth property which stores your account credentials. Use an intrinsic function to assign these to the values of secrets](/working_with/manager/using-secrets/) in your manager.

  some-implementation:
    type: cloudify.netconf.nodes.xml_rpc
    properties:
      netconf_auth:
        user: { get_secret: device_user }
        password: { get_secret: device_password }
        ip: { get_secret: list_of_fallback_ips }
        key_content: { get_secret: private_key_content }
        port: { get_secret: device_port }

#### tags name conversions logic:

  * ```a``` -> tag with name "a" and namespaces will be same as parent
  * ```a@b``` -> tag with name "b" and namespace a
  * ```_@@a``` -> attribute with name a and namespace will be same as parent
  * ```_@a@b``` -> attribute with name b and namespace will be a
  * ```_@@``` -> text content for tag
  * ```_!_``` -> text will be inserted as xml to parent node

#### examples of conversion

**List**

from:

json { “b”: { “a”: [1, 2, 3], “c”: 4 } }

to:

xml 1 2 3 4

**Dictionary**

from:

yaml { “b”: { “a”: 1, “c”: 2 } }

to:

xml 1 2

**Attributes**

from:

json { “b”: { “@@a”: 1, “@@”: 2 } }

to:

xml 2

**Text value for tag with attibutes**

from:

json { “b@a”: { “@c@a”: 1, “@@”: 2, “_@@g”: 3 } }

to:

xml 2 /b:a

**Text value for raw insert**

from:

json { “a”: { “!“: ““ } }

to:

xml ```
