Introduction This document defines a YANG data model for management and control of the radio link interface(s) and the relationship to packet (typically Ethernet) and/or Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) interfaces in a microwave/millimeter wave node. The ETSI EN 302 217 series defines the characteristics and requirements of microwave/millimeter wave equipment and antennas. Specifically, ETSI EN 302 217-2 specifies the essential parameters for systems operating from 1.4 GHz to 86 GHz. The data model includes configuration and state data according to the new Network Management Datastore Architecture . The design of the data model follows the framework for management and control of microwave and millimeter wave interface parameters defined in . This framework identifies the need and the scope of the YANG data model, use cases, and requirements that the model needs to support. Moreover, it provides a detailed gap analysis to identify the missing parameters and functionalities of the existing and established models to support the specified use cases and requirements, and based on that, it recommends how the gaps should be filled with the development of the new model. According to the conclusion of the gap analysis, the structure of the data model is based on the structure defined in , and it augments to align with the same structure for management of the packet interfaces. More specifically, the model will include interface layering to manage the capacity provided by a radio link terminal for the associated Ethernet and TDM interfaces, using the principles for interface layering described in as a basis. The data nodes for management of the interface protection functionality is broken out into a separate and generic YANG data module in order to make it also available for other interface types. The designed YANG data model uses established microwave equipment and radio standards, such as ETSI EN 302 217-2; the IETF Radio Link Model ; and the ONF Microwave Model , as the basis for the definition of the detailed leafs/parameters, and it proposes new ones to cover identified gaps, which are analyzed in .

Terminology and Definitions The following terms are used in this document: Carrier Termination (CT) is an interface for the capacity provided over the air by a single carrier. It is typically defined by its transmitting and receiving frequencies. Radio Link Terminal (RLT) is an interface providing packet capacity and/or TDM capacity to the associated Ethernet and/or TDM interfaces in a node and is used for setting up a transport service over a microwave/millimeter wave link. The following acronyms are used in this document: ACM Adaptive Coding Modulation ATPC Automatic Transmitter Power Control BBE Background Block Error BER Bit Error Ratio BPSK Binary Phase-Shift Keying CM Coding Modulation CT Carrier Termination ES Errored Seconds IF Intermediate Frequency MIMO Multiple Input Multiple Output RF Radio Frequency RLT Radio Link Terminal QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation QPSK Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying RTPC Remote Transmit Power Control SES Severely Errored Seconds TDM Time-Division Multiplexing UAS Unavailable Seconds XPIC Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation

Explanation of the Microwave Data Model The leafs in the Interface Management Module augmented by RLT and CT are not always applicable. "/interfaces/interface/enabled" is not applicable for RLT. Enable and disable of an interface is done in the constituent CTs. The packet-related measurements "in-octets", "in-unicast-pkts", "in-broadcast-pkts", "in-multicast-pkts", "in-discards", "in-errors", "in-unknown-protos", "out-octets", "out-unicast-pkts", "out- broadcast-pkts", "out-multicast-pkts", "out-discards", and "out- errors" are not within the scope of the microwave radio link domain and therefore are not applicable for RLT and CT.

Security Considerations The YANG data models specified in this document define schemas for data that is designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF or RESTCONF . The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) . The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS . The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. There are a number of data nodes defined in these YANG data models that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability: Interfaces of type microwaveRadioLinkTerminal: These data nodes represent the configuration of the radio link terminal, and they need to match the configuration of the radio link terminal on the other side of the radio link. Unauthorized access to these data nodes could interrupt the ability to forward traffic. Interfaces of type microwaveCarrierTermination: These data nodes represent the configuration of the carrier termination, and they need to match the configuration of the carrier termination on the other side of the carrier. Unauthorized access to these data nodes could interrupt the ability to forward traffic. Radio link protection: This data node represents the configuration of the protection of carrier terminations. Unauthorized access to this data node could interrupt the ability to forward traffic or remove the ability to perform a necessary protection switch. XPIC: This data node represents the XPIC configuration of a pair of carriers. Unauthorized access to this data node could interrupt the ability to forward traffic. MIMO: This data node represents the MIMO configuration of multiple carriers. Unauthorized access to this data node could interrupt the ability to forward traffic. Some of the RPC operations in this YANG data model may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability: Radio link protection: These data nodes represent actions that might have an impact on the configuration of the protection of carrier terminations. Unauthorized access to these data nodes could interrupt the ability to forward traffic or remove the ability to perform a necessary protection switch. The security considerations of also apply to this document.

References Normative References This document defines a YANG data model for control and management of radio link interfaces and their connectivity to packet (typically Ethernet) interfaces in a microwave/millimeter wave node. The data nodes for management of the interface protection functionality is broken out into a separate and generic YANG data model in order to make it available for other interface types as well. This document defines a YANG data model for the management of network interfaces. It is expected that interface-type-specific data models augment the generic interfaces data model defined in this document. The data model includes definitions for configuration and system state (status information and counters for the collection of statistics). The YANG data model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342. This document obsoletes RFC 7223. This document introduces a collection of common data types to be used with the YANG data modeling language. This document obsoletes RFC 6021. This document defines the initial version of the iana-if-type YANG module. The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) defined in this document provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based data encoding for the configuration data as well as the protocol messages. The NETCONF protocol operations are realized as remote procedure calls (RPCs). This document obsoletes RFC 4741. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document describes an HTTP-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface for accessing data defined in YANG, using the datastore concepts defined in the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF). 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] This document specifies version 1.3 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS allows client/server applications to communicate over the Internet in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery. This document updates RFCs 5705 and 6066, and obsoletes RFCs 5077, 5246, and 6961. This document also specifies new requirements for TLS 1.2 implementations. The standardization of network configuration interfaces for use with the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) or the RESTCONF protocol requires a structured and secure operating environment that promotes human usability and multi-vendor interoperability. There is a need for standard mechanisms to restrict NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol access for particular users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content. This document defines such an access control model. This document obsoletes RFC 6536. Informative References IANA ETSI ETSI ETSI ITU-T ITU-T ONF ETSI Datastores are a fundamental concept binding the data models written in the YANG data modeling language to network management protocols such as the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and RESTCONF. This document defines an architectural framework for datastores based on the experience gained with the initial simpler model, addressing requirements that were not well supported in the initial model. This document updates RFC 7950. The unification of control and management of microwave radio link interfaces is a precondition for seamless multi-layer networking and automated network provisioning and operation. This document describes the required characteristics and use cases for control and management of radio link interface parameters using a YANG data model. The purpose is to create a framework to identify the necessary information elements and define a YANG data model for control and management of the radio link interfaces in a microwave node. Some parts of the resulting model may be generic and could also be used by other technologies, e.g., Ethernet technology. This document captures the current syntax used in YANG module tree diagrams. The purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this definition. This syntax may be updated from time to time based on the evolution of the YANG language.

Changes from RFC 8561 To be added in a future revision of this draft.
