netconf capability specific-namespace

Use netconf capability specific-namespace to configure the device to use module-specific namespaces.

Use undo netconf capability specific-namespace to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf capability specific-namespace

undo netconf capability specific-namespace

Default

The device uses the common namespace.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

NETCONF supports both the common namespace and module-specific namespaces. The common namespace is incompatible with module-specific namespaces. To set up a NETCONF session, the device and the client must use the same type of namespaces. By default, the common namespace is used. If the client does not support the common namespace, use this command to configure the device to use module-specific namespaces.

For this command to take effect, you must reestablish the NETCONF session.

Examples

# Configure the device to use module-specific namespaces.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf capability specific-namespace

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 and NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS 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.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

soap: Specifies the NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP sessions and NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS 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 and NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS 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 and NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS 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 } * } { protocol-operation { all | { action | config | get | session | set | syntax | others } * } | row-operation | verbose }

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

Default

By default, NETCONF logging is enabled to log each row operation in <action> and <edit-config> operation requests and is disabled for all other types of operation requests.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

source: Specifies the NETCONF operation sources.

·     all: Specifies NETCONF clients that use all protocols.

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

·     soap: Specifies clients that use SOAP over HTTP or SOAP over HTTPS.

protocol-operation: Logs NETCONF operations by request. The system generates a pair of log messages to log each NETCONF operation request and reply.

·     all: Specifies all types of 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.

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

·     set: Specifies all <edit-config> operations.

·     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.

row-operation: Logs NETCONF operations by row operation. The system generates one log message to record a row operation and its operation result. This option applies only to <action> and <edit-config> operations.

verbose: Generates one detailed log message for each request and reply of types of NETCONF operations. The detailed log message includes packet contents of format-correct requests and error information about failed <edit-config> operations.

Usage guidelines

If you specify the protocol-operation keyword, the device logs each of the matching operation request and the operation result. For example, if you perform a NETCONF operation to create VLANs 3 through 5, the device generates the following log messages:

%Mar 21 17:11:34:479 2017 H3C XMLSOAP/6/XML_REQUEST: test from 192.168.100.198, session id 2,message-id 100, receive edit-config request.

%Mar 21 17:11:34:483 2017 H3C XMLSOAP/6/EDIT-CONFIG: test from 192.168.100.198, session id 2,message-id 100, execute success.

If you specify the row-operation keyword, the device logs each row operation in an <action> or <edit-config> operation request. For example, if you send a NETCONF operation request to create VLANs 3 through 5, the device generates the following log messages:

%Mar 31 17:50:02:608 2017 H3C XMLSOAP/6/EDIT-CONFIG: User (test, 192.168.100.20, session ID 1), message ID=100, operation=create VLAN/VLANs (ID=3), result=Succeeded. No attributes.

%Mar 31 17:50:02:609 2017 H3C XMLSOAP/6/EDIT-CONFIG: User (test, 192.168.100.20, session ID 1), message ID=100, operation=create VLAN/VLANs (ID=4), result=Succeeded. No attributes.

%Mar 31 17:50:02:611 2017 H3C XMLSOAP/6/EDIT-CONFIG: User (test, 192.168.100.20, session ID 1), message ID=100, operation=create VLAN/VLANs (ID=5), result=Succeeded. No attributes.

This command generates NETCONF operation logs and sends them to the information center. With the information center, you can configure log destinations and output rules. For information about information center configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Examples

# Configure the device to log NETCONF operations by row operation.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf log source all row-operation

netconf soap acl

Use netconf soap acl to apply an IPv4 ACL to control NETCONF over SOAP access.

Use undo netconf soap acl to restore the default.

Syntax

netconf soap { http | https } acl { ipv4-acl-number | name ipv4-acl-name }

undo netconf soap { http | https } acl

Default

No IPv4 ACL is applied to control NETCONF over SOAP access.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ipv4-acl-number: Specifies an IPv4 ACL by its number in the range of 2000 to 2999.

http: Applies an IPv4 ACL to control NETCONF over SOAP over HTTP access.

https: Applies an IPv4 ACL to control NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS access.

name ipv4-acl-name: Specifies an IPv4 ACL by its name. The ipv4-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.

Usage guidelines

Only NETCONF clients permitted by the IPv4 ACL can establish NETCONF over SOAP sessions.

This command takes effect only if the ACL is an existing IPv4 basic ACL and has rules. If you do not configure this command or the ACL does not exist or does not have rules, all NETCONF clients can establish NETCONF over SOAP sessions. For information about ACL configuration ,see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.

If you execute the netconf soap http acl command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. The same is true for the netconf soap https acl command.

Examples

# Use IPv4 ACL 2001 to allow only NETCONF clients from subnet 10.10.0.0/16 to establish NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS sessions.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] acl basic 2001

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

[Sysname] netconf soap https acl 2001

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

Default

No mandatory authentication domain is specified for NETCONF users.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-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 one 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 dscp

Use netconf soap dscp to set the DSCP value for outgoing NETCONF over SOAP packets.

Use undo netconf soap dscp to restore the default.

Syntax

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

policy-name: Specifies an SSL server policy name, a string of 1 to 31 characters.

Usage guidelines

The NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS service will use the SSL server policy to enhance service security. For more information about SSL server policies, see SSL configuration in Security Configuration Guide.

You can configure this command only when NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS is disabled.

This command takes effect after you enable NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS.

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

After NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS is enabled, changes to the applied SSL server policy do not take effect. For the changes to take effect, you must disable NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS and then enable NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS again.

Examples

# Apply SSL server policy myssl to the NETCONF over SOAP over HTTPS service.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] netconf soap https ssl-server-policy myssl

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 session requests.

Use undo netconf ssh server port to restore the default.

Syntax

xml

Use xml to enter XML view.

Syntax

xml

Views

User view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

network-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 3.

Table 3 NETCONF operations available for the predefined user roles

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

 

To ensure the format correctness of NETCONF messages in XML view, do not enter NETCONF messages manually. Copy and paste the messages.

While the device is performing a NETCONF operation, do not perform any other operations, such as pasting a NETCONF message or pressing Enter.

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
