Take Advantage of RESTCONF Token Authentication
We have seen a growing demand and usage of RESTCONF including its use with ConfD which can automatically render a northbound RESTCONF API from the YANG data models. As with any innovation new opportunities arise as customers use features to increase programmability and to meet the demands imposed by new standards and business line requirements in the network.
