Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] data model for NETCONF Event Notifications [RFC5277]. The notification structure defined in [RFC5277] uses a XML Schema [W3C.REC-xml-20001006] allowing to encode and validate the message in XML. Nevertheless, when the notification message is encoded using other encodings such as YANG-JSON [RFC7951] or YANG-CBOR [RFC9254], a YANG model to validate or encode the message is necessary. This document extends [RFC5277], defining the NETCONF Event Notification structure in a YANG module.¶

    "Defines NETCONF Event Notification structure as defined in RFC5277.
    This YANG module uses the same namespace from the XML schema defined
    in Section 4 of RFC5277 to be able to validate already implemented
    XML encoded messages.

3. Security Considerations

The security considerations for the NETCONF Event notifications are described in [RFC5277]. This documents adds no additional security considerations.¶

4. IANA Considerations

This document describes the URI used for the IETF XML Registry and registers a new YANG module name.¶

URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
Reference: RFC5277; RFC-to-be

name: ietf-notification
namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:notification:1.0
prefix: inotif
reference: RFC-to-be
