Basic NETCONF operations

Configuring session hello-timeout
A NETCONF session hello-timeout indicates the number of seconds a session waits before the hello
message is received from the NETCONF client. A session is dropped if no hello message is received
before the specified number of seconds elapses. If this parameter is set to zero, the server never
drops a session.
NOTE
Setting the NETCONF session hello-timeout value to zero permits denial of service attacks.
To configure a NETCONF session hello-timeout, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# netconf hello-timeout 300
Syntax: [no] netconf hello-timeout [seconds]
The seconds variable specifies the number of seconds the server waits to receive a hello message.
The range is from 1 through 3600 seconds. The default value is 600 seconds.
Configuring session idle-timeout
A NETCONF session idle-timeout indicates the number of seconds that a session may remain idle
without issuing any RPC requests. A session is dropped if it is idle for an interval longer than the
specified number of seconds. If this parameter is set to zero, the server never drops a session
because it is idle.
To configure a NETCONF session idle-timeout, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# netconf idle-timeout 86400
Syntax: [no] netconf idle-timeout [seconds]
The seconds variable specifies the number of seconds a session remains idle. The range is from 1
through 360000 seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds.
Displaying NETCONF statistics
To display the NETCONF server level information and statistics, enter the following command.
Brocade# show netconf server
