The Network Developer Portal houses information for NSP, SR OS, and WaveSuite. While there are resources for all three products on this site, this topic focuses on NSP-related information only.

The Portal content is available to logged-in users only; however, registration is free.

Note: The Network Developer Portal is subject to change off release cycle.

To help you automate your networks and simplify operations, the portal provides links to NSP RESTCONF API and NSP REST API resources. This includes Swagger documentation, Yang HTML browser, and sample code “Postman” collections for all of the listed NSP APIs.

Starting with NSP Release 25.4, the XML API Developer Guide, which was previously delivered in the Help Center of deployments that included NFM-P, has been migrated to Network Developer Portal.

Under Learn, NSP, you can explore use-case-based tutorials and learn more about the following topics for each release available in the drop-down menu:

The Labs drop-down menu offers access to the NSP labs catalog as well as a lab FAQ page. The NSP lab catalog offers a variety of dedicated lab environments tailored to different network management use cases. Here, you can reserve an NSP shared lab (free) or request lab quotes (paid) for a variety of setups, including, for instance, NSP Model-driven IP Management or NSP Classic IP Management with Enhanced Optimization.
