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

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, NETCONF over console, NETCONF over Telnet, or NETCONF over SSH.

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

· web: Specifies clients that use Web.

protocol-operation: Logs requests and replies for specific types of NETCONF operations.

· 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 row operations for <action> and <edit-config> operations.

verbose : Logs detailed information about requests and replies for types of NETCONF operations, including 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 and the operation result. For example, if you perform a NETCONF operation to create VLANs 3 through 5, the device outputs the following log messages:

%Mar 21 17:11:34:479 2019 Sysname 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 2019 Sysname 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 for an <action> or <edit-config> operation. For example, if you perform a NETCONF operation to create VLANs 3 through 5, the device outputs the following log messages:

%Mar 31 17:50:02:608 2019 Sysname 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 2019 Sysname 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 2019 Sysname 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.

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 System Management Configuration Guide.

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 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

To control NETCONF over SOAP access, specify an ACL that exists and has rules.

· If the specified ACL exists and has rules, only clients permitted by the ACL can establish NETCONF over SOAP sessions. A client cannot establish a NETCONF over SOAP session with the device if it does not match an ACL rule or is denied by an ACL rule.

· If the applied ACL does not exist or does not have rules, all NETCONF clients can establish NETCONF over SOAP sessions.

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 HTTP sessions.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] acl basic 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 User Access and Authentication 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

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

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

User role

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

# Enter XML view.

<Sysname> xml

# Notify the device of the NETCONF capabilities supported on the client.

urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0

</capability>

</capabilities>

</hello>]]>]]>

# Quit XML view.

<close-session/>

</rpc>]]>]]>
