YANG Data Model

A YANG data model is a standardized framework used to define and organize how network devices and services communicate and are configured. It provides a clear, structured way to specify settings, capabilities, and data for devices like switches, routers, and firewalls. Think of it as a blueprint or language that ensures different network systems can understand and work with each other consistently. YANG models help network administrators manage complex networks efficiently by making configuration and monitoring more consistent and automated across various devices and vendors.
