Introduction There is a need for a standard mechanism to expose which YANG modules [RFC7950], datastores [RFC8342], and datastore schemas [RFC8342] are in use by a network management server. This document defines the YANG module "ietf-yang-library" that provides this information. This version of the YANG library is compatible with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC8342]. The previous version of the YANG library, defined in [RFC7895], is not compatible with the NMDA since it assumes that all datastores have exactly the same schema. This is not necessarily true in the NMDA since dynamic configuration datastores may have their own datastore schema. Furthermore, the operational state datastore may support non-configurable YANG modules in addition to the YANG modules supported by conventional configuration datastores. The old YANG library definitions have been retained (for backwards- compatibility reasons), but the definitions have been marked as deprecated. For backwards compatibility, an NMDA-supporting server SHOULD populate the deprecated "/modules-state" tree in a backwards- compatible manner. The new "/yang-library" tree will be ignored by legacy clients but will provide all the data needed for NMDA-aware clients (which will ignore the "/modules-state" tree). The recommended approach to populate "/modules-state" is to report the YANG modules with "config true" data nodes that are configurable via conventional configuration datastores and the YANG modules with "config false" data nodes that are returned via a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) operation or equivalent. The YANG library information can be different on every server, and it can change at runtime or across a server reboot. If a server implements multiple network management protocols to access the server's datastores, then each such protocol may have its own conceptual instantiation of the YANG library. If a large number of YANG modules are utilized by a server, then the YANG library contents can be relatively large. Since the YANG library contents change very infrequently, it is important that clients be able to cache the YANG library contents and easily identify whether their cache is out of date. 1.1. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. The following terms are defined in [RFC7950]: * module * submodule * data node This document uses the phrase "implement a module" as defined in Section 5.6.5 of [RFC7950]. The following terms are defined in [RFC8342]: * datastore * datastore schema * configuration * conventional configuration datastore * operational state * operational state datastore * dynamic configuration datastore * client * server The following terms are used within this document: * YANG library: A collection of YANG modules, submodules, datastores, and datastore schemas used by a server. * YANG library content identifier: A server-generated identifier of the contents of the YANG library. Tree diagrams in this document use the notation defined in [RFC8340]. 2. Objectives The following information is needed by a client application (for each YANG module in the library) to fully utilize the YANG data modeling language: * name: The name of the YANG module. * revision: If defined in the YANG module or submodule, the revision is derived from the most recent revision statement within the module or submodule. * submodule list: The name and (if defined) revision of each submodule used by the module must be identified. * feature list: The name of each YANG feature supported by the server must be identified. * deviation list: The name of each YANG module with deviation statements affecting a given YANG module must be identified. In addition, the following information is needed by a client application for each datastore supported by a server: * identity: The YANG identity for the datastore. * schema: The schema (i.e., the set of modules) implemented by the datastore. In order to select one out of several possible designs for the YANG library data model, the following criteria were used: 1. The information must be efficient for a client to consume. Since the size of the YANG library can be quite large, it should be possible for clients to cache the YANG library information. 2. A dynamic configuration datastore must be able to implement a module or feature that is not implemented in the conventional configuration datastores. 3. It must be possible to not implement a module or feature in , even if it is implemented in some other datastore. This is required for transition purposes; a server that wants to implement should not have to implement all modules at once. 4. A given module can only be implemented in one revision in all datastores. If a module is implemented in more than one datastore, the same revision is implemented in all these datastores. 5. Multiple revisions can be used for import, if import-by revision is used. 6. It must be possible to use the YANG library by schema mount [RFC8528]. 3. YANG Library Data Model The "ietf-yang-library" YANG module provides information about the modules, submodules, datastores, and datastore schemas supported by a server. All data nodes in the "ietf-yang-library" module are "config false" and thus only accessible in the operational state datastore. +-----------+ | datastore | +-----------+ | | has a V +-----------+ +--------+ +------------+ | datastore | union of | module | consists of | modules + | | schema |----------->| set |--------------->| submodules | +-----------+ +--------+ +------------+ Figure 1 The conceptual model of the YANG library is depicted in Figure 1. Following the NMDA, every datastore has an associated datastore schema. A datastore schema is a union of module sets, and every module set is a collection of modules and submodules, including the modules and submodules used for imports. Note that multiple datastores may refer to the same datastore schema. Furthermore, it is possible for individual datastore schemas to share module sets. A common use case is the operational state datastore schema, which is a superset of the schema used by conventional configuration datastores. Below is the YANG tree diagram for the "ietf-yang-library" module, excluding the deprecated "/modules-state" tree: module: ietf-yang-library +--ro yang-library +--ro module-set* [name] | +--ro name string | +--ro module* [name] | | +--ro name yang:yang-identifier | | +--ro revision? revision-identifier | | +--ro namespace inet:uri | | +--ro location* inet:uri | | +--ro submodule* [name] | | | +--ro name yang:yang-identifier | | | +--ro revision? revision-identifier | | | +--ro location* inet:uri | | +--ro feature* yang:yang-identifier | | +--ro deviation* -> ../../module/name | +--ro import-only-module* [name revision] | +--ro name yang:yang-identifier | +--ro revision union | +--ro namespace inet:uri | +--ro location* inet:uri | +--ro submodule* [name] | +--ro name yang:yang-identifier | +--ro revision? revision-identifier | +--ro location* inet:uri +--ro schema* [name] | +--ro name string | +--ro module-set* -> ../../module-set/name +--ro datastore* [name] | +--ro name ds:datastore-ref | +--ro schema -> ../../schema/name +--ro content-id string notifications: +---n yang-library-update +--ro content-id -> /yang-library/content-id The "/yang-library" container holds the entire YANG library. The container has the following child nodes: * The "/yang-library/module-set" contains entries representing module sets. The list "/yang-library/module-set/module" enumerates the modules that belong to the module set. A module is listed together with its submodules (if any), a set of features, and any deviation modules. The list "/yang-library/module-set/ import-only-module" lists all modules (and their submodules) used only for imports. The assignment of a module to a module set is at the server's discretion. This revision of the YANG library attaches no semantics as to which module set a module is listed in. * The "/yang-library/schema" list contains an entry for each datastore schema supported by the server. All conventional configuration datastores use the same "schema" list entry. A dynamic configuration datastore may use a different datastore schema from the conventional configuration datastores and hence may require a separate "schema" entry. A "schema" entry has a leaf-list of references to entries in the "module-set" list. The schema consists of the union of all modules in all referenced module sets. * The "/yang-library/datastore" list contains one entry for each datastore supported by the server, and it identifies the datastore schema associated with a datastore via a reference to an entry in the "schema" list. Each supported conventional configuration datastore has a separate entry, pointing to the same "schema" list element. * The "/yang-library/content-id" leaf contains the YANG library content identifier, which is an implementation-specific identifier representing the current information in the YANG library on a specific server. The value of this leaf MUST change whenever the information in the YANG library changes. There is no requirement that the same information always result in the same "content-id" value. This leaf allows a client to fetch all schema information once, cache it, and only refetch it if the value of this leaf has been changed. If the value of this leaf changes, the server also generates a "yang-library-update" notification. Note that for a NETCONF server implementing the NETCONF extensions to support the NMDA [RFC8526], a change of the YANG library content identifier results in a new value for the :yang-library:1.1 capability defined in [RFC8526]. Thus, if such a server implements NETCONF notifications [RFC5277] and the "netconf-capability-change" notification [RFC6470], a "netconf-capability-change" notification is generated whenever the YANG library content identifier changes. 4. YANG Library YANG Module The "ietf-yang-library" YANG module imports definitions from the "ietf-yang-types" and "ietf-inet-types" modules defined in [RFC6991] and from the "ietf-datastores" module defined in [RFC8342]. While the YANG module is defined using YANG version 1.1, the YANG library supports YANG modules written in any version of YANG. Adding SVG diagram for testing purposes.

IANA Considerations RFC 7895 previously registered one URI in the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]. This document takes over this registration entry made by RFC 7895 and changes the Registrant Contact to the IESG according to Section 4 of [RFC3688]. URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-library Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace. This document registers a YANG module in the "YANG Module Names" registry [RFC6020]: name: ietf-yang-library namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-library prefix: yanglib reference: RFC 7895 This document takes over this registration entry made by RFC 7895. 6. Security Considerations The YANG module specified in this document defines a schema for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC8446]. The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: The "/yang-library" subtree of the YANG library may help an attacker identify the server capabilities and server implementations with known bugs since the set of YANG modules supported by a server may reveal the kind of device and the manufacturer of the device. Although some of this information may be available to all NETCONF users via the NETCONF message (or similar messages in other management protocols), this YANG module potentially exposes additional details that could be of some assistance to an attacker. Server vulnerabilities may be specific to particular modules, module revisions, module features, or even module deviations. For example, if a particular operation on a particular data node is known to cause a server to crash or significantly degrade device performance, then the "module" list information will help an attacker identify server implementations with such a defect, in order to launch a denial-of- service attack on the device. 7.

Newline characters in leaf values are added for formatting reasons. config-modules ietf-interfaces 2018-02-20 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces ietf-ip 2018-02-22 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip ietf-yang-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types ietf-inet-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types state-modules ietf-hardware 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-hardware ietf-inet-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types ietf-yang-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types iana-hardware 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-hardware config-schema config-modules state-schema config-modules state-modules ds:startup config-schema ds:running config-schema ds:operational state-schema 75a43df9bd56b92aacc156a2958fbe12312fb285 Appendix C. Example YANG Library Instance for an Advanced Server The following example extends the example in Appendix B by using modules from [RFC8345] and [RFC8349] to illustrate a slightly more advanced server that: * Has a module with features only enabled in ; the "ietf-routing" module is supported in , , and , but the "multiple-ribs" and "router-id" features are only enabled in . Hence, the "router-id" leaf may be read but not configured. * Supports a dynamic configuration datastore "example-ds-ephemeral", with only the "ietf-network" and "ietf-network-topology" modules configurable via a notional dynamic configuration protocol. * Shows an example of datastore-specific deviations. The "example-vendor-hardware-deviations" module is included in the schema for to remove data nodes that cannot be supported by the server. * Shows how module-sets can be used to organize related modules together. config-state-modules ietf-interfaces 2018-02-20 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces ietf-ip 2018-02-22 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ip ietf-routing 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing ietf-yang-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types ietf-inet-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types config-only-modules ietf-routing 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing dynamic-config-state-modules ietf-network 2018-02-26 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-network ietf-network-topology 2018-02-26 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-network-topology ietf-inet-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types state-only-modules ietf-hardware 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-hardware example-vendor-hardware-deviations ietf-routing 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing multiple-ribs router-id example-vendor-hardware-deviations 2018-01-31 urn:example:example-vendor-hardware-deviations ietf-inet-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-inet-types ietf-yang-types 2013-07-15 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-yang-types iana-hardware 2018-03-13 urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:iana-hardware config-schema config-state-modules config-only-modules dynamic-config-schema dynamic-config-state-modules state-schema config-state-modules dynamic-config-state-modules state-only-modules ds:startup config-schema ds:running config-schema ex-ds-eph:ds-ephemeral dynamic-config-schema ds:operational state-schema 14782ab9bd56b92aacc156a2958fbe12312fb285 Authors' Addresses Andy Bierman YumaWorks Email: andy@yumaworks.com Martin Bjorklund Tail-f Systems Email: mbj@tail-f.com Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Email: j.schoenwaelder@jacobs-university.de Kent Watsen Juniper Networks Email: kwatsen@juniper.net Robert Wilton Cisco Systems Email: rwilton@cisco.com
