OpenConfig

OpenConfig is a collaborative effort among network operators and vendors to create standardized, flexible software interfaces for managing and configuring network devices like routers and switches. By using shared data models and open protocols, OpenConfig enables consistent, automated control across diverse hardware, simplifying network management. This approach reduces complexity, improves efficiency, and facilitates real-time adjustments, making networks more reliable and easier to maintain. Essentially, OpenConfig acts as a common language that helps different network equipment and management systems work together seamlessly.
