Configuring and managing network devices using program overlay on Yang-based graph database

摘要

In one example, a network management system (NMS) device manages a plurality of network devices. The NMS device includes one or more processing units, implemented using digital logic circuitry, configured to receive configuration data for a plurality of network devices managed by the NMS device, construct a graph database representing the configuration data, wherein to construct the graph database, the one or more processing units are configured to construct a plurality of vertices representing respective elements of the configuration data, and connect related vertices of the plurality of vertices with edges. The one or more processing units are further configured to manage the plurality of network devices using the graph database.
