OpenDaylight India Forum

Call home or reverse SSH is a technique where the SSH server initiates a request that the SSH client establish a SSH connection to the server. The IETF draft for NETCONF Call Home using SSH (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-reverse-ssh-06) describes this technique to use with NETCONF. This feature is useful in controllers where devices behind a firewall/NAT can initiate a request to controller to initiate a SSH connection for NETCONF communication. At present, OpenDaylight Beryllium doesn’t support the implementation as described in this draft. This presentation discusses on realizing the IETF draft as a OpenDaylight feature and its application in a real-world use-case with a demo.
