Lighty NETCONF/RESTCONF Application

This application provides RESTCONF north-bound interface and utilizes NETCONF south-bound plugin to manage NETCONF devices on the network. Application works as standalone SDN controller. It is capable to connect to NETCONF devices and expose connected devices over RESTCONF north-bound APIs.

This application starts:

  • Lighty Controller
  • OpenDaylight RESTCONF plugin
  • OpenDaylight OpenApi servlet
  • NETCONF south-bound plugin

architecture

This roughly translates to OpenDaylight feature set installed by karaf command:

feature:install odl-netconf-all

Build and Run

build the project: mvn clean install

Start this demo example

  • build the project using mvn clean install
  • go to target directory cd lighty-examples/lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app/target
  • unzip example application bundle unzip lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.zip
  • go to unzipped application directory cd lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT
  • start controller example controller application java -jar lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Test example application

Once example application has been started using command java -jar lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar RESTCONF web interface is available at URL http://localhost:8888/restconf/*

URLs to start with
  • GET http://localhost:8888/restconf/operations
  • GET http://localhost:8888/restconf/data/network-topology:network-topology?content=config
  • GET http://localhost:8888/restconf/data/network-topology:network-topology?content=nonconfig

This application example has active OpenApi UI for RESTCONF.

URLs for OpenApi: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8040

  • OpenApi UI http://localhost:8888/openapi/explorer/index.html

Use custom config files

There are two separated config files: for NETCONF SBP single node and for cluster. java -jar lighty-community-restconf-netconf-app-21.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /path/to/singleNodeConfig.json

Example configuration for single node is here

Setup Logging

Default logging configuration may be overwritten by JVM option -Dlog4j.configurationFile=path/to/log4j2.xml

Content of log4j2.xml is described here.
