Nokia provides a suite of vendor-specific YANG models to configure the network element. OpenConfig is an informal working group which provides vendor-neutral YANG models based on the needed usage of a technology by the community. The Nokia vendor-specific model is a more complete representation of the capabilities of the network element, which includes vendor specific features and functions not described by the OpenConfig YANG models. The two YANG configuration models, Nokia’s vendor-specific and OpenConfig’s vendor-neutral, may be used together to configure the network element. Support for OpenConfig models can be established by examining the OpenConfig model with the vendor-specific deviations and augments.
