A network your AI agents can read, change and roll back
An AI agent that changes a network needs three things from each router: structured state it can read, an API for changes, and a way back to a previous configuration. OcNOS provides all three through open standards. IP Infusion develops OcNOS in-house, so our engineers can work with you on what your agent project needs next.
How an agent works with OcNOS
Observe
Subscribe to interface, routing and system state over gNMI, with on-change updates.
Decide
The agent compares live state with the intended state and proposes a change. Your team approves it.
Change
It applies the change with commit confirmed, over NETCONF using YANG models or through the transaction-based CLI.
Verify
It reads the result back and confirms the change before it moves on to the next router.
Roll back
If the result is wrong, the change is not confirmed and OcNOS reverts it. Commit rollback can also restore an earlier configuration.
What an AI agent needs from a router
Agents work best on networks that describe themselves in data models, accept changes through APIs and recover cleanly from a bad change. OcNOS supports each step with industry standards.
Read: streaming state
gNMI streaming telemetry with Get, Subscribe and on-change updates, using OpenConfig data models. The agent reads state through telemetry instead of parsing CLI output.
Not in every edition. On OcNOS-DC it is part of the PLUS edition. The Feature Matrix lists each edition.
Act: model-driven changes
NETCONF over SSH or TLS with YANG 1.0 and 1.1 models, NETCONF notifications and Call Home. The agent applies structured configuration, not free text.
On every qualified OcNOS router and switch. The Feature Matrix lists each edition.
Recover: a way back
Commit confirmed applies a change on trial and reverts it automatically unless the agent confirms it before the timer expires. Commit rollback restores an earlier configuration. Zero touch provisioning brings a new or replaced router online with less manual work.
Run the fleet
IP Maestro provides inventory, software upgrades, alarms and streaming telemetry across OcNOS fleets. Ansible supports repeatable tasks.

Platform support from the Feature Matrix. Some interfaces belong to specific editions. Check your edition in the OcNOS Feature Matrix.
An engineering team that works with your project
IP Infusion has developed its network software in-house since 1999, from the ZebOS protocol stack to OcNOS today. The same engineering team works directly with operators and partners and shapes the OcNOS roadmap around their projects.
If your agents need a data model, telemetry path or API that OcNOS does not offer yet, tell us about it.
