A system comprising:
- a Network Management System (NMS) Server comprising an NMS Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) Client;
- a Distributed Unit (DU) comprising a DU NETCONF Server, a DU NETCONF Client module, and a DU Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) module;
- and
- one or more Remote Radio Units (RRU), each comprising a NETCONF Server and associated as a child node to the Distributed Unit as a parent node,
- wherein the NMS NETCONF Client of the NMS Server is configured to network with the DU NETCONF Server and each of the one or more RRU NETCONF Servers, and
- wherein the NMS OAM module is configured to interface the DU NETCONF Server and the DU NETCONF Client of the DU to manage a NETCONF interface between the RRU and the NMS.

A method comprising:
- establishing a Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) interface between a Network Management System (NMS) Server, the NMS Server comprising an NMS Network NETCONF Client and a Distributed Unit (DU) comprising a DU NETCONF Server, a DU NETCONF Client, and a DU Operation Administration and Maintenance OAM module;
- establishing a NETCONF interface between one or more Remote Radio Units (RRU) and the DU, each RRU comprising an RRU NETCONF Server associated as a child node to the Distributed Unit as a parent node,
- wherein the NMS NETCONF Client of the NMS Server is configured to network with the DU NETCONF Server of the DU and each of the DU NETCONF Server RRU components;
- and
- wherein the NMS OAM module is configured to interface the DU NETCONF Server and the DU NETCONF Client of the DU to manage NETCONF interfaces between the RRU and the Network Management System.
