Desarrollo de aplicativos para gestión automática de una red basado en protocolos de gestión : Desarrollo de un prototipo software (tipo NMS) basado en RESTCONF.

Abstract

This document describes the implementation of a network that uses the RESTCONF protocol for network administration, this structure was set up with the help of network emulation programs and virtual machines, to finally be implemented with physical equipment (CISCO C1111 -4P Cisco 1100 Series and CISCO 4221 Integrated Services Routers). For the development of the NMS prototype, the GNS3 emulator is used, which allows the implementation of network equipment such as routers, switches, etc. VirtualBox and VMWARE were used to create virtual machines which will be used as clients, this in order to be able to carry out functional tests for their subsequent implementation in CISCO equipment. In addition, complementary network protocols such as DHCP, NAT, OSPF, among others, are described. This to comply with the requirements of the NMS, which must have 3 modules (configuration, information and reports), finally, the development of the NMS is done through a locally hosted web server for the construction of the code, the Spring methodology, which allows a continuous development of improvements for the optimization of the code, with which a subsequent growth of the application can be guaranteed. The NMS will be built based on the libraries of the YANG model, for which Python is used as the base language for this task, the reason is the available libraries that allow REST-type queries to be made dynamically, as it adapts to the needs of the programmer, facilitating the growth and implementation of new query modules and configuration methods.
