Vyatta documentation

Learn how to install, configure, and operate the Vyatta Network Operating System (Vyatta NOS) and Orchestrator, which help drive our virtual networking and physical platforms portfolio.

Supported NETCONF operations

Information about NETCONF operations that Vyatta NOS supports.

Vyatta NOS supports these top-level operations, via NETCONF RPCs.

For reference, where you have a TACACS+ server, Vyatta NOS also shows the accounting for each command that it receives. In some cases, Vyatta NOS will send multiple strings/arguments when you make a commit operation.

<get-schema>

Get a list of the YANG schemas that the device supports. See RFC 6022, 3.1 The <get-schema> Operation.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

<lock>

Lock the NETCONF session (candidate configuration only). See RFC 6241, 7.5 <lock>.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

<unlock>

Unlock the NETCONF session. See RFC 6241, 7.5 <lock>.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

<get>

Get the running configuration and device state information. See RFC 6241, 7.7 <get>.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

<get-config>

Get the configuration from the specified datastore. See RFC 6241, 7.1 <get-config>.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

<edit-config>

Edit the configuration that is in the specified datastore. See RFC 6241, 7.2 <edit-config>.

TACACS+ audit string: set/delete for each line of the equivalent CLI configuration, with following strings for each element in the CLI command.

<delete-config>

Delete the configuration from the specified datastore. See RFC 6241, 7.4 <delete-config>.

TACACS+ audit string: discard.

<validate>

Validate the configuration. The configuration may be either candidate/running, or provided by the caller. See RFC 6241, 8.6 Validate Capability.

TACACS+ audit string: validate.

<copy-config>

Copy the configuration. See RFC 6241, 7.3 <copy-config>.

TACACS+ audit string: load, encoding, xml, copy-config.

<commit>

Copy changes in the candidate configuration datastore to the running configuration datastore.

A commit may be either of these:

  • Unconditional — that is, not subject to further confirmation.
  • Conditional — that is, subject to further confirmation. In this case, you send an initial 'confirmed commit' with a timeout. Then you need to follow this with either an unconditional commit to confirm it, or an explicit cancel-commit operation to revert it.
Note: Unfortunately, the 'confirmed commit' terminology from RFC 6241 is a bit confusing. 'Unconditional' and 'conditional' are not terms from the RFC — we just use them for explanation.

In the absence of either of these, Vyatta NOS will automatically revert the initial commit when the timeout expires. See RFC 6241, 8.3.4.1 <commit>.

TACACS+ audit string: commit for unconditional commit and confirmed commit.

<cancel-commit>

Cancel an ongoing confirmed commit. See RFC 6241, 8.4.4.1 <cancel-commit>.

TACACS+ audit string: cancel-commit.

<discard-changes>

Discard uncommitted changes to the candidate configuration. See RFC 6241, 8.3.4.2 <discard-changes>.

TACACS+ audit string: discard.

<close-session>

Request graceful termination of the current NETCONF session. See RFC 6241, 7.8 <close-session>.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.

Custom YANG RPCs

YANG RPCs as implemented in YANG modules. See RFC 6241, 4.1 <rpc> Element.

TACACS+ audit string: Not audited.
