Embodiments includes a NGDU for enabling communication in an O-RAN. The NGDU includes a RIM M-plane manager comprising a M-plane model, multiple DUs connected to the RIM M-plane manager and communicating with the RIM M-plane manager over a NETCONF interface and multiple RUs connected to the RIM M-plane manager and communicating with the RIM M-plane manager over a non-NETCONF interface. The RIM M-plane manager receives a first communication from RU over the non-NETCONF interface; send it to OSS and receive IP associated with DU for executing M plane service. The RIM M-plane controller starts a Netconf Callhome procedure with the DU and allows it to configure CP identifier at the RIM M-Plane manager. The RIM M-plane controller determines non-NETCONF interface compatible version of the CP identifier, sends the non-NETCONF interface compatible version of the CP identifier to the RU, and enables the communication between the RU and the DU.
