The following screenshot shows an example of validating an incorrect YANG data model,
namely bad-interfaces.yang.
Validate an IETF internet draft (ID) or request for comment (RFC)
YANG validator can also validate an IETF internet draft (ID) or request for comment (RFC) that contains YANG data models (as described in section 3.2 of RFC 8407).
For example, enter 8348 in the field in the “I know the number of IETF RFC and I want to validate it” section, then click the button, and accept the default values in the “Additional Information Required” window
