YANG Suite - Cisco DevNet

YANG Suite In Your Network

Network automation and programmability capabilities include browsing YANG modules in a graphical interface, creating RPC payload messages to interact with devices, and a gRPC Dial-Out model driven telemetry collector for streaming telemetry. The user-interface is updated with HTML5 and provides flexible deployment options with Docker containers.

Get started with YANG Suite

Episode 9 of the DevNet Snack Minute video series introduces YANG Suite as long-awaited tooling for YANG API Testing and Validation. YANG Suite is used to construct and test YANG based APIs over NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC and gNMI on Cisco IOS XE, IOS XR, and NX-OS platforms. The initial release of YANG Suite includes the base plugins for NETCONF, gRPC Telemetry, and Datasets and Diffs for comparison of YANG between releases and versions.

In Episode 58 of the DevNet Snack Minute we review the two additional plugins that were released and are now available: RESTCONF and gNMI. The commonly used "SwaggerUI" is now part of YANG Suite's RESTCONF plugin which enables easy GUI point and click operations for the GET/PUT/POST/etc REST API calls based of the YANG data model and payload. The gNMI plugin has complete GET/SET/Subscribe operations support and is very similar in operations to the well understood "NETCONF" plugin that has been available since the initial release.

In Episode 84 of the DevNet Snack Minute we review the integrations for Ansible into the NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI plugins that enable XML/REST/JSON playbook generation directly from YANG Suite which enables smoother integrations with this popular tool. The 2nd major innovation is within the Coverage plugin regarding the SNMP OID to YANG XPATH transition and migration. This plugins takes both OID's and XPATH's and compares them and displays the actual output from both requests for validation. As always additional resources are shared for finding additional information.
