Abstract
This document defines two YANG modules, one module to configure a
NETCONF client and the other module to configure a NETCONF server.
Both modules support both the SSH and TLS transport protocols, and
support both standard NETCONF and NETCONF Call Home connections.

2.2. Example Usage
The following example illustrates configuring a NETCONF client to
initiate connections, using both the SSH and TLS transport protocols,
as well as listening for call-home connections, again using both the
SSH and TLS transport protocols.
This example is consistent with the examples presented in Section 2.2
of [I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore].
