OpenDaylight (ODL) controller

Junos OS supports OpenDaylight (ODL) controller, which provides an open source platform for network programmability aimed at enhancing software-defined networking (SDN). The ODL controller provides a southbound Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) connector API, which uses NETCONF and YANG models to interact with a network device. You can use the ODL controller to orchestrate and provision routers, and execute remote procedure calls (RPCs) to the routers to get state information. Also, the ODL controller enables you to carry out configuration changes in the routers. To configure the ODL controller to interoperate with MX Series routers, include the netconf rfc-compliant and netconf yang-compliant statements at the [edit system services] hierarchy level.
