Factory Default Setting
draft-ietf-netmod-factory-default-01
This document defines a method to reset a server to its factory-default content. The reset operation may be used e.g. during initial zero-touch configuration or when the existing configuration has major errors, so re-starting the configuration process from scratch is the best option.
A new factory-reset RPC is defined. Several methods of documenting the factory-default content are specified.
Optionally a new "factory-default" read-only datastore is defined, that contains the data that will be copied over to the running datastore at reset.
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

This document defines a method to reset a server to its factory-default content. The reset operation may be used e.g. during initial zero-touch configuration or when the existing configuration has major errors, so re-starting the configuration process from scratch is the best option. When resetting a datastore all previous configuration settings will be lost and replaced by the factory-default content.
A new factory-reset RPC is defined. Several methods of documenting the factory-default content are specified.
Optionally a new "factory-default" read-only datastore is defined, that contains the data that will be copied over to all read-write configuration datastores at reset. This datastore can also be used in <get-data> or <copy-config> operations.
NETCONF defines the <delete> operation that allows resetting the <startup> datastore and the <discard-changes> operation that copies the content of the <running> datastore into the <candidate> datastore. However it is not possible to reset the running datastore, to reset the candidate datastore without changing the running datastore or to reset any dynamic datastore.
A RESTCONF server MAY implement the above NETCONF operations, but that would still not allow it to reset the running configuration.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.
The following terms are defined in [RFC8342] and are not redefined here:
The following terms are defined in this document as follows:
A new "factory-reset" RPC is introduced. Upon receiveing the RPC the server resets the content of all read-write configuration datastores (e.g.,<running> and <startup>) to its factory-default content. Read-only datastores receive their content from other datastores (e.g. <intended> gets its content from <running>).
Factory-default content SHALL be specified by one of the following means in order of precedence
In addition to set the content of the read-write configuration datastores, the "factory-reset" RPC might also be used to clean up files, restart the node or some of the SW processes, or it might set some security data/passwords to the default value, remove logs, remove any temporary data (from datastore or elsewhere) etc.
This document introduces a new datastore resource named 'Factory-Default' that represents a preconfigured minimal initial configuration that can be used to initialize the configuration of a server.
The datastore content is usually defined by the device vendor. It is usually static, but MAY change e.g., depending on external factors like HW available or during device upgrade.
On devices that support non-volatile storage, the contents of <factory > MUST persist across restarts.

"This module defines the

<CODE ENDS>
This document registers one URI in the IETF XML Registry [RFC3688]. The following registration has been made:
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names Registry [RFC6020]. The following registration has been made:
The <factory-reset> RPC can overwrite important and security sensitive information in one of the other datastores e.g. running, therefore it is important to restrict access to this RPC using the standard access control methods.
The content of the factory-default datastore is usually not security sensitive as it is the same on any device of a certain type.

When the device first boots up, the content of the <startup> and <factory-default> will be identical. The content of <startup> can be subsequently changed by using <startup> as a target in a <copy-config> operation. The <factory-default> is a read-only datastore and it is usually static as described in earlier sections.
