DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please use YANG security considerations template from 
https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ops/wiki/yang-security-guidelines.  Specifically (as 
a DISCUSS item):

** (Per the template questions “for all YANG modules you must evaluate whether 
any readable data”) Would factory-default contain any sensitive information in 
certain network environments where the ACLs should be more restrictive that 
world readable for everyone?
[Qin]: It does follows yang-security-guidelines but there is no readable data 
node defined within rpc, that's why we don't use third paragraph boilerplate 
and fourth paragraph boilerplate of yang-security-guidelines. 
YANG-security-guidelines are more applicable to YANG data model with more 
readable/writable data nodes.
In addition, as clarified in the second paragraph, section 6 of this draft, 
NACM can be used to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to 
a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations 
(i.e., factory-reset rpc)

Per “The operational disruption caused by setting the config to factory default 
contents varies greatly depending on the implementation and current config”, it 
seems like it could be worse than just an operational disruption.  Please note 
that a default configuration could be insecure or not have security controls 
enabled whereby exposing the network to compromise.

[Qin]: As described in the second paragraph of section 6 it by default restrict 
access for everyone by using the "default-deny-all" access control defined 
[RFC8341], what else does it need to address this security concern?

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please use YANG security considerations template from 
https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ops/wiki/yang-security-guidelines.  Specifically (as 
a COMMENT item):

** Add “The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341] 
provides the means to …”

[Qin]: We did follow this template, I am wondering how it is different from the 
second paragraph of section 6? I see they are equivalent but with more fine 
granularity security measures, if my understanding is correct.
