Lighty toaster device example

This netconf device example shows how to customize base lighty-netconf-device to support functionality described in your custom yang model. In this netconf device the toaster yang model toaster@2009-11-20.yang is used. Therefore the name: toaster device.

Brief description

Device registers toaster rpc processors to handle incoming rpc requests. Each of the processor calls method of ToasterServiceImpl which implements ToasterService generated from yang model.

Build and run

Build root project - for more details check: README

Run device

  • extract binary distribution lighty-toaster-device-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip from target directory
  • run jar file from zip with default parameter
java -jar lighty-toaster-device-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

To run device on specific port, add port number as an argument

  • run device on specific port 12345 (any available port)
java -jar lighty-toaster-device-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 12345

Connect to device via SSH

Open session

To connect to a device via SSH, run command

ssh admin@127.0.0.1 -p 12345 -s netconf

where

  • admin is default username of a device with password admin(no other users)
  • 127.0.0.1 is the local IP address of the machine where device is running
  • -p 12345 is port number of running device, default is 17830
  • -s netconf option establishes the NETCONF session as an SSH subsystem, which means that NETCONF can be used in terminal through opened SSH session

To complete connection with a device, it is necessary to initiate handshake by sending client's model capabilities in hello-message:

<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <capabilities>
        <capability>urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0</capability>
    </capabilities>
</hello>
]]>]]>

which informs the device which capabilities the client supports. The capabilities tag contains list of capabilities the client supports, e.g.

<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <capabilities>
        <capability>capability1</capabaility>
        <capability>capability2</capabaility>
        <capability>capability3</capabaility>
        ...
    </capabilities>
</hello>
]]>]]>

If handshake is not completed by sending hello message with client's capabilities and any other message is sent, following error message is received (long text replaced with ...):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <rpc-error>
        <error-type>rpc</error-type>
        <error-tag>malformed-message</error-tag>
        <error-severity>error</error-severity>
        <error-message>
            java.lang.IllegalStateException: Hello message not received, instead received: ...
        </error-message>
        <error-info>
            <cause>
                java.lang.IllegalStateException: Hello message not received, instead received: ...
            </cause>
        </error-info>
    </rpc-error>
</rpc-reply>
]]>]]>

Close session

To properly exit current NETCONF device SSH session, close-session message needs to be send

<rpc message-id="106" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <close-session/>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

ok message will be replied and then closed the session.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="106">
    <ok/>
</rpc-reply>

Basic NETCONF commands

As a NETCONF device, it provides basic NETCONF defined commands (RPCs):

get

returns data from the device operational datastore

<rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <get/>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

Reply contains all data that are in the device's operational datastore.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <data>
        <toaster xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
            <toasterManufacturer>Pantheon</toasterManufacturer>
            <toasterModelNumber>SuperToaster9000</toasterModelNumber>
            <toasterStatus>up</toasterStatus>
        </toaster>
    </data>
</rpc-reply>
]]>]]>

get-config

Returns configuration data from the device datastore, specified in body of request in source parameter.

<rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <get-config>
        <source>
            <running/>
        </source>
    </get-config>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

The returned reply contains data from running type of configuration datastore

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <data>
        <toaster xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
            <darknessFactor>500</darknessFactor>
        </toaster>
    </data>
</rpc-reply>
]]>]]>

edit-config

RPC to edit configuration data in the device.

<rpc message-id="m-9" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <edit-config>
        <target>
            <DATASTORE_TYPE/>
        </target>
        <default-operation>DEFAULT_OPERATION</default-operation>
        <config>
            <DATA_TO_EDIT...>
                <SOME_DATA operation="OPERATION">
            ...
        </config>
    </edit-config>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

NETCONF defines several types of operations, which can be used within edit-config RPC:

  • merge, replace, create, delete, remove

It can also contain default-operation, for requests without operation specified:

  • merge, replace, none

Default behaviour for operations is merge.

Example of replace edit-config RPC message, to change darknessFactor of toaster in the device's running datastore. The config tag contains actual data to edit.

<rpc message-id="m-9" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <edit-config>
        <target>
            <running/>
        </target>
        <config xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
            <toaster xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
                <darknessFactor nc:operation="replace">750</darknessFactor>
            </toaster>
        </config>
    </edit-config>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

When operation create is used to edit existing data, device reply by error response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="m-9" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <rpc-error>
        <error-type>rpc</error-type>
        <error-tag>data-exists</error-tag>
        <error-severity>error</error-severity>
        <error-message>data-exists</error-message>
    </rpc-error>
</rpc-reply>
]]>]]>

Toaster Model

YANG model used by the device is toaster@2009-11-20.yang.

Toaster device has defined 3 RPCs in YANG model:

make-toast

  • takes optional toasterDoneness and toasterToastType values as an input into RPC, if not specified the default values from YANG models will be used.
<rpc message-id="mt1" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <make-toast xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
        <toasterDoneness>2</toasterDoneness>
        <toasterToastType>frozen-waffle</toasterToastType>
     </make-toast>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

cancel-toast

(has no inputs)

<rpc message-id="ct1" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <cancel-toast xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
    </cancel-toast>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

restock-toast

  • takes optional amountOfBreadToStock value as an input, if not specified default value from YANG models will be used.
<rpc message-id="rt1" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <restock-toaster xmlns="http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster">
        <amountOfBreadToStock>10</amountOfBreadToStock>
    </restock-toaster>
</rpc>
]]>]]>

After each of the upper RPC calls, appropriate info message can be seen in device logs.

Example of log info for make-toast RPC:

INFO [nioEventLoopGroup-2-3] (ToasterServiceMakeToastProcessor.java:30) - execute RPC: make-toast
INFO [nioEventLoopGroup-2-3] (ToasterServiceImpl.java:35) - makeToast 2 interface org.opendaylight.yang.gen.v1.http.netconfcentral.org.ns.toaster.rev091120.FrozenWaffle

contains information with what parameters was RPC called: toasterDoneness: 2 and toasterToastType: frozen-waffle.

Example of successful reply message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <rpc-reply message-id="id" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"/>
]]>]]>

where message-id corresponds with message-id which RPC was called with, so for request with message-id mt1 the response will contain same message-id mt1.

Example of unsuccessful reply contains appropriate error message (e.g. unknown toast type: pink-bread)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="mt1" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
    <rpc-error>
        <error-type>application</error-type>
        <error-tag>operation-failed</error-tag>
        <error-severity>error</error-severity>
        <error-message>Unexpected error</error-message>
        <error-info>
            <ERROR>java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
                java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
                    Parsed QName (http://netconfcentral.org/ns/toaster?revision=2009-11-20)pink-bread
                    does not refer to a valid identity
            </ERROR>
        </error-info>
    </rpc-error>
</rpc-reply>
