2 Northbound RESTCONF/YANG Interface
Cisco EPN Manager implements the RESTCONF/YANG API as a standards-based
Northbound Interface for integrating Cisco EPN Manager with a standards-compliant OSS.
It is a set of RESTFul services confirmed to the RESTCONF/YANG sepcification.

The Cisco EPN Manager implementation of the RESTCONF/YANG interface supports the
retrieval of device inventory, circuit inventory, and notifications about respective resource
changes and provisioning. This includes:

Web Services Standards
2.1
The RESTCONF implementation of the Cisco EPN Manager is based on the following Web
Services specification from W3C standards, as mentioned in the RESTCONF/YANG
specification.

specification.
RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)
XML Schema version 1.0 (XSD)
RESTCONF Protocol (draft 07) draft-ietf-netconf-restconf-07

RESTCONF Standards
2.2
The Cisco EPN Manager implementation of the RESTCONF/YANG Interface exposes Cisco
EPN Manager management information as specified by the RESTCONF/YANG protocol and
data modeling language.
While no standard exists for information model exposed by this interface, the model is
based on TeleManagement Forum (TMF) standards governing the modeling of physical and
service inventory.

Communication Patterns
2.3
RESTCONF/YANG interfaces supported by Cisco EPN Manager use REST (Representational
State Transfer) techniques. REST is stateless and uses a client-server protocol (HTTP 1.1).
