ndCONF Studio Tools Eval
The YANG Datastore based, ndCONF Agent Development Studio Evaluation package is available for either a Docker environments, a PC Linux or ARM64/32 Debian Linux targets. It provides the NETCONF / RESTCONF / CLI / and SNMPv3 accessible, device configuration Agent building tools and development SDKs for embedded systems.
The purpose of the ndCONF Agent Studio Evaluation package is to invite our SNMP and CLI products customers, and all interested developers of embedded management software interfaces to experiment with our NETCONF technology providing a YANG code generation framework, SDK libraries, NETCONF, SNMPv3, CLI and RESTCONF Access Agents and other tools to enable development aiming at providing specific embedded YANG Agents that implement standard and custom YANG modules modelling our customers own products.
Please experiment and test these products, tell us about your specific needs, ask the questions, and kindly report potential issues; our goal is to provide compliant and interoperable NETCONF / CLI / SNMP and RESTCONF solutions for integration in your networking products.
We believe that flexibility of providing support for all these management interfaces is the key to successful product deployment in environments that have already established management applications such as SNMP but are or will be adding NETCONF application capabilities for its standardized remote configuration management features.

BY DOWNLOADING THIS PRODUCT, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO BE BOUND BY: THE NUDESIGN ndCONF STUDIO EVAL LICENSE AGREEMENT with the important Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability presented below for your convenience.
The ndCONF Agent Development Studio Evaluation package contains all components, tools and SDK libraries to build a Linux, YANG Datastore based Agent with NETCONF, RESTCONF, CLI and optionally SNMPv3 access to the management information.
Currently, four Access Agents are provided: NETCONF, RESTCONF, SNMPv3 and a basic CLI. These Access Agents, together with the core YANG Datastore Server, constitute a complete multiprotocol, integrated NETCONF / RESTCONF / SNMP / CLI ndCONF Management Agent, demonstrating functionality, integration and synchronization of operations on the YANG Datastore from different remote management applications. The YANG Datastore implements its objects using YANG modelling language defined by rfc6020 and rfc7950, YANG 1.0 and 1.1.
NuDesign’s NETCONF, RESTCONF and SNMP technologies implement the IETF’s Network Configuration protocols as described by:

- the IETF standard SNMPv3 modules.
The overview of NETCONF / YANG capabilities is provided in the informational rfc titled:
An Architecture for Network Management Using NETCONF and YANG – rfc6244
The overview of RESTCONF / YANG capabilities is provided by the following LinkedIn article:
RESTCONF and YANG : Merging Network Management with REST principles
The SNMPv3 Access Agent implements the full set of IETF’s SNMPv3 RFC’s already supported by NuDesign’s tools and libraries. If you need a SNMPv3 Client application for your testing, please download our eval of SNMPv3 MIBrowser Pro.
The provided basic CLI Access Agent implements configuration objects defined in implemented YANG modules. The full CLI AA provides a larger set of operational and configuration commands.
