NETCONF commands

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features, commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.

netconf idle-timeout

Use netconf idle-timeout to set the NETCONF session idle timeout time.

Use undo netconf idle-timeout to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf { soap | agent } idle-timeout minute

undo netconf { soap | agent } idle-timeout

Default

The NETCONF session idle timeout time is 10 minutes for NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP sessions.

The NETCONF session idle timeout time is 0 minutes for NETCONF over SSH sessions, NETCONF over Telnet sessions, and NETCONF over console sessions. The sessions never time out.

Parameters

soap: Specifies the NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP sessions.

agent: Specifies the NETCONF over SSH sessions, NETCONF over Telnet sessions, and NETCONF over console sessions.

minute: Specifies the NETCONF session idle timeout time in minutes. The value range is as follows:

·     1 to 999 for NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP sessions.

·     0 to 999 for NETCONF over SSH sessions, NETCONF over Telnet sessions, and NETCONF over console sessions. To disable the timeout feature, set this argument to 0.

Usage guidelines

If no NETCONF packets are exchanged on a NETCONF session within the NETCONF session idle timeout time, the device tears down the session.

Examples

# Set the NETCONF session idle timeout time to 20 minutes for NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP sessions.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf soap idle-timeout 20

netconf log

Use netconf log to enable NETCONF logging.

Use undo netconf log to remove the configuration for the specified NETCONF operation sources and NETCONF operations.

Syntax

netconf log source { all | { agent | soap | web } * } { { protocol-operation { all | { action | config | get | set | session | syntax | others } * } } | verbose }

undo netconf log source { all | { agent | soap | web } * } { { protocol-operation { all | { action | config | get | set | session | syntax | others } * } } | verbose }

Default

NETCONF logging is disabled.

Parameters

source: Specifies a NETCONF operation source that represents clients that use a protocol.

·     all: Specifies NETCONF clients that use all protocols.

·     agent: Specifies clients that use Telnet, SSH, console, or NETCONF over SSH.

·     soap: Specifies clients that use SOAP over HTTP.

·     web: Specifies clients that use Web.

protocol-operation: Specifies a NETCONF operation type.

·     all: Specifies all NETCONF operations.

·     action: Specifies the action operation.

·     config: Specifies the configuration-related NETCONF operations, including the CLI, save, load, rollback, lock, unlock, and save-point operations.

·     get: Specifies the data retrieval-related NETCONF operations, including the get, get-config, get-bulk, get-bulk-config, and get-sessions operations.

·     set: Specifies all edit-config operations.

·     session: Specifies session-related NETCONF operations, including the kill-session and close-session operations, and capability exchanges by hello messages.

·     syntax: Specifies the requests that include XML and schema errors.

·     others: Specifies NETCONF operations except for those specified by keywords action, config, get, set, session, and syntax.

verbose: Logs detailed NETCONF information. For request operations, this keyword logs the texts of the requests after brief information. For service operations, this keyword takes effect only on edit-config operations. When an edit-config operation error occurs, this keyword logs detailed error information.

Usage guidelines

For NETCONF to correctly send the generated logs to the information center, you must also configure the information center. For information about information center configuration, see the network management and monitoring configuration guide for the device.

Examples

# Configure the device to log NETCONF edit-config information sourced from agent clients.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf log source agent protocol-operation set

netconf soap domain

Use netconf soap domain to specify a mandatory authentication domain for NETCONF users.

Use undo netconf soap domain to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf soap domain domain-name

undo netconf soap domain domain-name

Default

No mandatory authentication domain is specified for NETCONF users.

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

domain-name: Specifies an ISP domain by its name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 255 characters. For information about ISP domains, see Security Configuration Guide.

Usage guidelines

You can use either of the following methods to specify an authentication domain:

·     Execute the netconf soap domain command to specify a mandatory authentication domain. After this command is executed, all NETCONF users are placed in the domain for authentication.

·     Add an authentication domain to the <UserName> parameter of a SOAP request. The authentication domain takes effect only on the current request.

The authentication domain specified by using this command takes precedence over the authentication domain specified by the <UserName> parameter of a SOAP request.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Specify mandatory authentication domain my-domain for NETCONF users.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf soap domain my-domain

netconf soap http acl

Use netconf soap http acl to apply an ACL to NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP traffic.

Use undo netconf soap http acl to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf soap http acl { acl-number | name acl-name }

undo netconf soap http acl

Default

No ACL is applied to NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP traffic.

Parameters

acl-number: Specifies an ACL by its number in the range of 2000 to 2999.

name acl-name: Specifies an ACL by its name. The acl-name argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. It must start with an English letter. To avoid confusion, it cannot be all. The specified ACL must be an existing IPv4 basic ACL.

Usage guidelines

This command is not available in FIPS mode.

Only NETCONF clients permitted by the ACL can access the device through SOAP over HTTP.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Use ACL 2001 to allow only NETCONF clients from subnet 10.10.0.0/16 to access the device through SOAP over HTTP.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] acl basic 2001

[Sysname-acl-ipv4-basic-2001] rule permit source 10.10.0.0 0.0.255.255

[Sysname-acl-ipv4-basic-2001] quit

[Sysname] netconf soap http acl 2001

netconf soap http enable

Use netconf soap http enable to enable NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP.

Use undo netconf soap http enable to disable NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP.

Syntax

netconf soap http enable

undo netconf soap http enable

Default

NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP is disabled.

mdc-admin

Usage guidelines

This feature allows you to use an SSH client to invoke NETCONF as an SSH subsystem. Then, you can directly use XML messages to perform NETCONF operations without using the xml command.

Before you execute this command, configure the authentication mode for users as scheme on the device. Then, the NETCONF-over-SSH-enabled user terminals can access the device through NETCONF over SSH.

Only capability set urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0 is available. It is supported by both the device and user terminals.

Examples

# Enable NETCONF over SSH.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf ssh server enable

netconf ssh server port

Use netconf ssh server port to specify a port to listen for NETCONF over SSH connections.

Use undo netconf ssh server port to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf ssh server port port-number

undo netconf ssh server port

Default

Port 830 listens for NETCONF over SSH connections.

Parameters

port-number: Specifies a port by its number in the range of 1 to 65535.

Usage guidelines

When assigning a listening port, make sure the specified port is not being used by other services. The SSH service can share the same port with other services, but it might not operate correctly.

Examples

# Specify port 800 to listen for NETCONF over SSH connections.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf ssh server port 800

xml

Use xml to enter XML view.

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-operator

Usage guidelines

In XML view, use NETCONF messages to configure the device or obtain data from the device. The NETCONF operations you can perform depend on the user roles you have, as shown in Table 1.

Table 1 NETCONF operations available for the predefined user roles

User role	NETCONF operations
·     network-admin ·     mdc-admin	All NETCONF operations
·     network-operator ·     mdc-operator	·     Get ·     Get-bulk ·     Get-bulk-config ·     Get-config ·     Get-sessions ·     Close-session

 

To configure NETCONF in XML view, copy NETCONF messages to the device in strict accordance with the NETCONF message format. To ensure successful NETCONF configuration, do not perform any other operations such as manually entering NETCONF messages.

For the device to identify NETCONF messages, you must add end mark ]]>]]> at the end of each NETCONF message.

After you enter XML view, the device automatically advertises its NETCONF capabilities to the client. In response, you must configure the client to notify the device of its supported NETCONF capabilities. After the capability exchange, you can use the client to configure the device.

NETCONF messages must comply with the XML format requirements and semantic and syntactic requirements in the NETCONF XML API reference for the device. As a best practice, use third-party software to generate NETCONF messages to ensure successful configuration.

To quit XML view, use a NETCONF message instead of the quit command.

If you have configured a shortcut key (Ctrl + C, by default) by using the escape-key command in user line/user line class view, the NETCONF message should not contain the shortcut key string. If the NETCONF message contains the shortcut key string, relevant configurations in XML view might be affected. For example, in user line view, you configured "a" as the shortcut key by using the escape-key a command. When a NETCONF message includes the character "a," only the contents after the last "a" in the message can be processed.

Examples

# Enter XML view.
