Overview

Nokia’s Optical Network Elements are providing a fundamentally different approach to manage the network device. Model-driven management means that configuration and state information are stored in a manner prescribed by the YANG data models provided by the OpenConfig working group and provided with the software release.

The Optical Network Element delivers standardized communication interfaces (like NETCONF, gRPC) into this modeled information, meaning that integration with many open source tools is straightforward and does not require vendor-specific integration modules.

Prerequisites and Dependencies

• See the Lab Catalog to request a lab environment
  
• General knowledge of YANG data modelling language
• General knowledge of NETCONF protocol standards
• General knowledge of gRPC protocol standards and gNMI/gNOI specifications
• General knowledge of Optical Network Management
• Good understanding of the OpenConfig defined YANG data models
