Sim-01 YANG model verification

Sim-01 YANG model verification

Owned by Zhe Huang (Felix)
Last updated: Feb 04, 2021

A framework is deployed in the OSC Lab, allowing a user to validate configuration data in the form of XML/JSON, based on the O-RAN-FH YANG models against a simulated NETCONF Server.

O-RAN-FH Simulator through ODL








Limited SMO deliverables

* As a new project, the SMO project delivers multiple tools that have not been integrated into a unified platform in the Cherry release. Therefore, helm charts and deployment scripts are not provided yet.

Usage from sources

  1. Clone the OAM repository in gerrit.

  2. Navigate into the validator folder

    cd solution/dev/smo/yang-validator
  3. Configure any parameters in the docker-compose.yml or in the .env files (like exposed ports etc.)

  4. Start the services of of the validator

    docker-compose up

     This starts two services currently:

    1. a O-RAN-FH Simulator exposing the O1 interface YANG models (NETCONF username/password is "netconf/netconf" and port is 18300)
    2. a vanilla OpenDaylight Aluminium SR0 version, acting as the SMO (ODL username/password is "admin/admin" and port is 8181)
  5. Mount the O-RAN-FH Simulator into the vanilla ODL:
curl -X PUT "http://<VM_IP>:8181/rests/data/network-topology:network-topology/topology=topology-netconf/node=ntsim-ng-o-ran-fh" -u admin:admin -H "accept: */*" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<node xmlns=\"urn:TBD:params:xml:ns:yang:network-topology\"><node-id>ntsim-ng-o-ran-fh</node-id><host xmlns=\"urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology\"><VM_IP></host><port xmlns=\"urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology\">18300</port><username xmlns=\"urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology\">netconf</username><password xmlns=\"urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology\">netconf</password></node>"


API call

You need to change two places in the above API call. Use your VM's IP in the following API call.



That's it! Now the mount-point named ntsim-ng-o-ran-fh can be used in the ODL Aluminium SR0 to test XML/JSON. configuration data against the YANG definition.

Usage from OSC Lab

The framework is deployed in a VM inside OSC Lab: 192.168.130.90

One which has access to OSC Lab could use directly the SMO (OpenDaylight Aluminium) to address the O-RAN-FH Simulator (having the mount-point name ntsim-ng-o-ran-fh). E.g. of a GET request:

curl -X GET "http://192.168.130.90:8181/rests/data/network-topology:network-topology/topology=topology-netconf/node=ntsim-ng-o-ran-fh/yang-ext:mount" -u admin:admin -H "accept: */*"
