Error handling
The
error-option
element contains the
stop-on-error
value. The
stop-on-error
value aborts
the
edit-config
operation on the first error. All the configuration items before the error are
already applied on the system. This is the default error option.
After receiving the complete
edit-config
RPC, the configuration items specified in the XML are
applied sequentially as per the order specified in the YANG. If all the configuration items are
successfully applied, an
element is sent in the
element. Otherwise, an
element with the details of the error is sent in the
element.
Closing sessions
The NETCONF
operation is used for gracefully closing the current NETCONF
session. The
operation uses no additional parameters.
When a NETCONF server receives a
request, the server releases resources
associated with the session and closes the underlying SSH connection. Any NETCONF requests
received after a
request are ignored. If the device is able to close the
connection, an
element is sent that includes an
element. Otherwise, an
element with the details of the error is sent in the
element.
NETCONF commands and specifications
The following sections describe the configuration of NETCONF using the CLI and the associated
show commands, the syslog messages, and the system limitations of NETCONF.
Configuring NETCONF server
To enable the NETCONF server on a device, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# netconf server
Brocade# netconf server?
server Enable NETCONF server functionality
When no port number is specified, the command applies to the default port (830).
To enable the NETCONF server for a specific port, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# netconf server port 2001
Syntax: [no] netconf server [port port-number]
The port option allows you to enable NETCONF on a non-default port.
The port-number variable specifies the port number of the device. The range is from 1 through
65535.
Both the SSH server and the NETCONF server must be enabled to establish a NETCONF session.
The netconf server command displays the following warning message if the SSH server
configuration is disabled.
Warning: SSH server is disabled. Please enable the SSH server.
