YANG

YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) is a language used to define how network devices like routers and switches operate and communicate. It provides a standardized way to describe, configure, and manage networking equipment, ensuring interoperability between different vendors’ products. Think of it as a blueprint or recipe that specifies the settings, capabilities, and data structures for network management. By using YANG, network administrators can automate and streamline device configuration, monitoring, and updates, leading to more efficient and reliable network management across diverse hardware platforms.
