Operations and Management Network Configuration de-assign deallocate release This document releases NETCONF-related port number IANA assignments that have not stood the test of time (e.g., assignments for Historic NETCONF-related protocols). Discussion Venues Discussion of this document takes place on the Network Configuration Working Group mailing list (netconf@ietf.org), which is archived at . Source for this draft and an issue tracker can be found at .
Introduction The "Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number" registry records several NETCONF-related port and service name assignments such as 830 for NETCONF over Secure Shell (SSH) , 831 for NETCONF over the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) , 832 for NETCONF over the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) , 4334 for NETCONF Call Home , and 6513 for NETCONF over Transport Layer Security (TLS) . However, many of these assignments are for a transport protocol (i.e., UDP) for which the requesting application does not apply. Also, several of the assignments are for protocols that are not deployed and were tagged as Historic: and . This document de-assigns these unused port numbers. Consistent with , this document does not de-assign service names; only port numbers are de-assigned for better usage of available scarce resources.
Operational Considerations There are no known implementations and deployments of protocols that rely upon the port numbers released back by this document. As such, there are no new operations or manageability requirements introduced by this document.
Security Considerations This document does not describe any protocol. As such, this document does not introduce any new security vulnerability.
IANA Considerations This document requests IANA to update the "Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry" registry as specified in the following subsections.
  • Note to the RFC Editor: Please replace "THIS_DOCUMENT" with the RFC number to be assigned to this document.
NETCONF over SSH Service OLD:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconf-ssh 830 tcp NETCONF over SSH
netconf-ssh 830 udp NETCONF over SSH
NEW:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconf-ssh 830 tcp NETCONF over SSH
A note can be added to 830/udp to indicate that the port number used to be assigned to NETCONF over SSH but released by THIS_DOCUMENT.
NETCONF over BEEP Service OLD:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconf-beep 831 tcp NETCONF over BEEP
netconf-beep 831 udp NETCONF over BEEP
NEW:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconf-beep     NETCONF over BEEP THIS_DOCUMENT
A note can be added to 831 to indicate that the port number used to be assigned to NETCONF over BEEP but released by THIS_DOCUMENT.
NETCONF over SOAP Service OLD:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconfsoaphttp 832 tcp NETCONF for SOAP over HTTPS
netconfsoaphttp 832 udp NETCONF for SOAP over HTTPS
netconfsoapbeep 833 tcp NETCONF for SOAP over BEEP
netconfsoapbeep 833 udp NETCONF for SOAP over BEEP
NEW:
Service Name Port Number Transport Protocol Description Reference
netconfsoaphttp     NETCONF for SOAP over HTTPS THIS_DOCUMENT
netconfsoapbeep     NETCONF for SOAP over BEEP THIS_DOCUMENT
A note can be added to 832/833 to indicate that the port numbers used to be assigned to NETCONF over SOAP but released by THIS_DOCUMENT.
References Normative References Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Procedures for the Management of the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry This document defines the procedures that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) uses when handling assignment and other requests related to the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number registry. It also discusses the rationale and principles behind these procedures and how they facilitate the long-term sustainability of the registry. This document updates IANA's procedures by obsoleting the previous UDP and TCP port assignment procedures defined in Sections 8 and 9.1 of the IANA Allocation Guidelines, and it updates the IANA service name and port assignment procedures for UDP-Lite, the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), and the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). It also updates the DNS SRV specification to clarify what a service name is and how it is registered. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice. Informative References Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry n.d. Using the NETCONF Protocol over Secure Shell (SSH) This document describes a method for invoking and running the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) within a Secure Shell (SSH) session as an SSH subsystem. This document obsoletes RFC 4742. [STANDARDS-TRACK] Using the NETCONF Protocol over the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) This document specifies an application protocol mapping for the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) over the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP). [STANDARDS-TRACK] Using NETCONF over the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) is applicable to a wide range of devices in a variety of environments. Web Services is one such environment and is presently characterized by the use of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). NETCONF finds many benefits in this environment: from the reuse of existing standards, to ease of software development, to integration with deployed systems. Herein, we describe SOAP over HTTP and SOAP over Blocks Exchange Extensible Protocol (BEEP) bindings for NETCONF. [STANDARDS-TRACK] NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home This RFC presents NETCONF Call Home and RESTCONF Call Home, which enable a NETCONF or RESTCONF server to initiate a secure connection to a NETCONF or RESTCONF client, respectively. Using the NETCONF Protocol over Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Mutual X.509 Authentication The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. This document describes how to use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol with mutual X.509 authentication to secure the exchange of NETCONF messages. This revision of RFC 5539 documents the new message framing used by NETCONF 1.1 and it obsoletes RFC 5539. Updates to Using the NETCONF Protocol over Transport Layer Security (TLS) with Mutual X.509 Authentication sn3rd Vigil Security, LLC RFC 7589 defines how to protect NETCONF messages with TLS 1.2. This document updates RFC 7589 to update support requirements for TLS 1.2 and add TLS 1.3 support requirements, including restrictions on the use of TLS 1.3's early data.
