NSO NED Index 2015 -12 -03

What is a NED? Applications Network Element Driver Allows users and service application developers to use one style of interface regardless of device vendor and type YANG abstraction of native device management interface e. g. CLI, SNMP, TL-1, Web Services, REST, etc. Emulation of NETCONF transactional behavior Engineers REST, NETCONF, Java, Python, Erlang, CLI, Web UI Service Model Service Manager Device Model Network Element Drivers (NEDs) NETCONF, REST, SNMP, CLI, etc • VNFM • Controller Apps • EMS and NMS Physical Networks Virtual Networks Network Apps © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

NED Overview • Created and maintained by Cisco NSO engineering • Classified as Production or POC grade • Production NEDs are available for sale now • POC NEDs can be demoed/evaluated, but require hardening for production use © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 3

Production NED POC NED Can be sold as a license – PIDs available Can be used for demos or POC’s. Used in production by customers today and continuously tested towards all active NSO versions on real equipment (reference hardware and software versions). Fully supported by Cisco TAC Covers at least the use cases of its current customers and the coverage is continuously expanded. The NEDs you purchase will support all the configuration you require for when you need it • Provided that the customer has support contract, makes available the required configurations in advance. • Can be sold if upgraded to Production Grade. Requires BU approval. Not tested continuously on real equipment. The NED can showcase NSO towards the devices in a POC but for a real deployment, the NED needs to be upgraded to production grade. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

NED changes – I need a new NED Send the following information to nso-ned@cisco. com: Your name and project name NCS/NSO target version. Time plan, including at least NED delivery deadline. Detailed information about the device model and OS-version to be covered by the NED, i. e. show version from CLI or equivalent (Cisco IOS is not enough). Sample configuration for use-cases you need from the device(s) in question. Typical is that we get a show running-config from a reference system. If you need a POC grade NED: Remote access to a real device is enough for scoping and development. If you need a Production grade NED: Tail-f Engineering needs permanent access to a dedicated real device (virtual or physical) either in our labs in Stockholm or in San Jose. Virtual devices, covering the entire scope, are of course preferable. After receiving the information above we will estimate the work to be done and put it on the NED priority list. We will get back to the requester with expected delivery dates (typically 2 -6 weeks). After acceptance of delivery dates, from the project, we will commit to the delivery plan. Technical contact that can provide answers to questions around the management of the device. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 11

Can the Customer Enhance or Create NEDs? • In theory yes, but they should not need to in practice • NED source (YANG, etc. ) and developer guide comes with the system, so in case of emergency you can – you will not be held hostage by Cisco NSO team • However, forking off private versions is undesirable Private NED cannot be supported by TAC • Breaks upgrade path to official NED version • • For one-off devices/systems the customer could create their own NED, but would be advised to use qualified partner © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates.
