What it is

  • User is a service person, familiar with the device and know what he/ she is doing
  • Flexible tool that is available without addtional need of implementation
  • Allow access to all fields, specified by yang-specifications with less restrictions
  • Generic and generated user interface, generated by yang specs and capabilites of a device.

What it not is

  • Debug/Test tool to get detailed failure feedback or analysis support
  • ODL/RESTCONF is used as it is by UC Configuration. RESTCONF is not part of this UX Project .. see Opendaylight project.

Features

  • Read yang specifications and generate related User interface out of it
    • Provide yang description as tool tip for fields
    • Consider specified type for input fields
    • Provide read and write access
  • Access to most of available configuration options via ODL/RESTCONF. 
  • User can configure all fields

Limitations

  • Failures are shown as provided by RESTCONF
  • If device is not implementing yang parts this condition is reported as "Error 404", because there is not device knowledge in the app.
  • There is no warning or hint for any misconfiguration, that could be done by a user. As consequence this app shouldn't be used for productive devices.
  • No labels
