This schema was generated from the YANG module ietf-inet-types by pyang version 1.2. The schema describes an instance document consisting of the entire configuration data store, operational data, rpc operations, and notifications. This schema can thus NOT be used as-is to validate NETCONF PDUs. This module contains a collection of generally useful derived YANG data types for Internet addresses and related things.

This version of this YANG module is part of RFC 6021; see the RFC itself for full legal notices. This value represents the version of the IP protocol. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the InetVersion textual convention of the SMIv2. The dscp type represents a Differentiated Services Code-Point that may be used for marking packets in a traffic stream. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the Dscp textual convention of the SMIv2. The flow-label type represents flow identifier or Flow Label in an IPv6 packet header that may be used to discriminate traffic flows. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the IPv6FlowLabel textual convention of the SMIv2. The port-number type represents a 16-bit port number of an Internet transport layer protocol such as UDP, TCP, DCCP, or SCTP. Port numbers are assigned by IANA. A current list of all assignments is available from <http://www.iana.org/>. Note that the port number value zero is reserved by IANA. In situations where the value zero does not make sense, it can be excluded by subtyping the port-number type. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the InetPortNumber textual convention of the SMIv2. The as-number type represents autonomous system numbers which identify an Autonomous System (AS). An AS is a set of routers under a single technical administration, using an interior gateway protocol and common metrics to route packets within the AS, and using an exterior gateway protocol to route packets to other ASs'. IANA maintains the AS number space and has delegated large parts to the regional registries. Autonomous system numbers were originally limited to 16 bits. BGP extensions have enlarged the autonomous system number space to 32 bits. This type therefore uses an uint32 base type without a range restriction in order to support a larger autonomous system number space. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the InetAutonomousSystemNumber textual convention of the SMIv2. The ip-address type represents an IP address and is IP version neutral. The format of the textual representations implies the IP version. The ipv4-address type represents an IPv4 address in dotted-quad notation. The IPv4 address may include a zone index, separated by a % sign. The zone index is used to disambiguate identical address values. For link-local addresses, the zone index will typically be the interface index number or the name of an interface. If the zone index is not present, the default zone of the device will be used. The canonical format for the zone index is the numerical format The ipv6-address type represents an IPv6 address in full, mixed, shortened, and shortened-mixed notation. The IPv6 address may include a zone index, separated by a % sign. The zone index is used to disambiguate identical address values. For link-local addresses, the zone index will typically be the interface index number or the name of an interface. If the zone index is not present, the default zone of the device will be used. The canonical format of IPv6 addresses uses the compressed format described in RFC 4291, Section 2.2, item 2 with the following additional rules: the :: substitution must be applied to the longest sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks in an IPv6 address. If there is a tie, the first sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks is replaced by ::. Single all-zero 16-bit chunks are not compressed. The canonical format uses lowercase characters and leading zeros are not allowed. The canonical format for the zone index is the numerical format as described in RFC 4007, Section 11.2. The ip-prefix type represents an IP prefix and is IP version neutral. The format of the textual representations implies the IP version. The ipv4-prefix type represents an IPv4 address prefix. The prefix length is given by the number following the slash character and must be less than or equal to 32. A prefix length value of n corresponds to an IP address mask that has n contiguous 1-bits from the most significant bit (MSB) and all other bits set to 0. The canonical format of an IPv4 prefix has all bits of the IPv4 address set to zero that are not part of the IPv4 prefix. The ipv6-prefix type represents an IPv6 address prefix. The prefix length is given by the number following the slash character and must be less than or equal 128. A prefix length value of n corresponds to an IP address mask that has n contiguous 1-bits from the most significant bit (MSB) and all other bits set to 0. The IPv6 address should have all bits that do not belong to the prefix set to zero. The canonical format of an IPv6 prefix has all bits of the IPv6 address set to zero that are not part of the IPv6 prefix. Furthermore, IPv6 address is represented in the compressed format described in RFC 4291, Section 2.2, item 2 with the following additional rules: the :: substitution must be applied to the longest sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks in an IPv6 address. If there is a tie, the first sequence of all-zero 16-bit chunks is replaced by ::. Single all-zero 16-bit chunks are not compressed. The canonical format uses lowercase characters and leading zeros are not allowed. The domain-name type represents a DNS domain name. The name SHOULD be fully qualified whenever possible. Internet domain names are only loosely specified. Section 3.5 of RFC 1034 recommends a syntax (modified in Section 2.1 of RFC 1123). The pattern above is intended to allow for current practice in domain name use, and some possible future expansion. It is designed to hold various types of domain names, including names used for A or AAAA records (host names) and other records, such as SRV records. Note that Internet host names have a stricter syntax (described in RFC 952) than the DNS recommendations in RFCs 1034 and 1123, and that systems that want to store host names in schema nodes using the domain-name type are recommended to adhere to this stricter standard to ensure interoperability. The encoding of DNS names in the DNS protocol is limited to 255 characters. Since the encoding consists of labels prefixed by a length bytes and there is a trailing NULL byte, only 253 characters can appear in the textual dotted notation. The description clause of schema nodes using the domain-name type MUST describe when and how these names are resolved to IP addresses. Note that the resolution of a domain-name value may require to query multiple DNS records (e.g., A for IPv4 and AAAA for IPv6). The order of the resolution process and which DNS record takes precedence can either be defined explicitely or it may depend on the configuration of the resolver. Domain-name values use the US-ASCII encoding. Their canonical format uses lowercase US-ASCII characters. Internationalized domain names MUST be encoded in punycode as described in RFC 3492 The host type represents either an IP address or a DNS domain name. The uri type represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) as defined by STD 66. Objects using the uri type MUST be in US-ASCII encoding, and MUST be normalized as described by RFC 3986 Sections 6.2.1, 6.2.2.1, and 6.2.2.2. All unnecessary percent-encoding is removed, and all case-insensitive characters are set to lowercase except for hexadecimal digits, which are normalized to uppercase as described in Section 6.2.2.1. The purpose of this normalization is to help provide unique URIs. Note that this normalization is not sufficient to provide uniqueness. Two URIs that are textually distinct after this normalization may still be equivalent. Objects using the uri type may restrict the schemes that they permit. For example, 'data:' and 'urn:' schemes might not be appropriate. A zero-length URI is not a valid URI. This can be used to express 'URI absent' where required. In the value set and its semantics, this type is equivalent to the Uri SMIv2 textual convention defined in RFC 5017.
