Análisis de Protocolos para la Gestión de Redes : Análisis del protocolo de gestión de red NETCONF.

Abstract

Nowadays, every type of organization has some kind of telecommunications network, since it facilitates communication among its members and collaborators. Due to the growing demand of users, these networks have been forced to improve constantly, causing a greater difficulty in their administration. The SNMP protocol and CLI are the technologies that are currently used for network management; however, they do not represent an efficient and scalable way to configure and manage network devices of the new emerging networks. The NETCONF protocol emerges as a solution to the aforementioned problems, which is why network administrators and even software and network equipment vendors have been quick to adopt this protocol for network management. NETCONF aims to be one of the most widely used network management protocols in the near future due to its benefits, which is why learning about NETCONF is a smart idea. This work proposes and contains a total of 5 laboratory practices elaborated according to the format established by the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Networks of Escuela Politécnica Nacional, which allow to demonstrate the characteristics of the NETCONF protocol in an emulated environment of GNS3 between client and server. Each of the laboratory practices consists of activities that will allow students of Telecommunications Engineering and related fields to understand, learn and apply the functionalities offered by NETCONF.
