If you have followed the previous blogs you have a Brocade SDN Controller installed and have used it to program OpenFlow flows to a Mininet virtual switch. But, what about all this talk of NETCONF? This post will demonstrate how to write a simple application that use the RESTCONF api of Brocade SDN Controller to connect a Brocade vRouter 5600 to Brocade SDN Controller via NETCONF and then to add/remove a firewall. It also introduces the pybvc Python library that wraps the RESTCONF calls and makes your applications a bit easier to read.
