Erlang Netconf Support

Question

Does Erlang/OTP has Netconf client and server implementation?

Google brings me to http://erlang.org/doc/man/ct_netconfc.html; what is this ct for?

The other project that I found seems to be not maintained https://github.com/FlowForwarding/enetconf

Is there anyone who is using Netconf with Erlang and can help provide some starting point.

Answer 1

The ct_netconf module is part of the "Common Test" test framework, and is probably not usable as a standalone client.

But yes, there is Erlang software that implements Netconf. ConfD was written in Erlang, by the company Tail-F (who got bought by Cisco some years ago). I can't find any online docs, but from mailing list discussions it looks like the free (but not open source) ConfD Basic has Erlang and C bindings. You can get it from here: http://www.tail-f.com/confd-basic/ (registration required).

See http://www.tail-f.com/company-story/ for more background.

(At https://github.com/tail-f-systems there is a Netconf client in Java, but no open source Erlang code.)
