Introduction
4. Issue an <rpc> command to edit the configuration. You determine which data to edit by stating the
RUGGEDCOM namespace where the data to be changed is found, and then stating the path through the data
model to the items to change.
5. Issue an <rpc> command to validate the changes. Validating the changes ensures that the syntax of the
changes is correct.
6. Issue an <rpc> command to commit the changes. Committing the changes applies the changes to the
running configuration, making the changes take effect on the running device.
7. Issue an <rpc> command to unlock the datastores. Unlock the datastores to allow other users in other
sessions to modify the configuration data.
8. Close the session. Closing the session ensures that the NETCONF session closes gracefully without incomplete
processes or locked datastores.
Detailed Steps
The following procedure provides more details:
1. Log in to the device via ssh:
$ ssh {user}@{ipAddress} -p 830 -s netconf
• {user} is a user name on the device. Typically, the user should be assigned the administrative user role.
• {ipAddress} is an address on the device listening for NETCONF activity. The -p parameter indicates the
port listening for NETCONF activity. Port 830 is the default NETCONF port. The -s parameter indicates the
subsystem. All NETCONF communication must be identified with -s NETCONF. You can configure the IP
addresses and ports on which RUGGEDCOM NETCONF listens for NETCONF. For more information, refer to
Section 3.1, "Configuring/Monitoring NETCONF in RUGGEDCOM
The device responds with its <hello> statement:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<capabilities>
.
.
.
</capabilities>
<session-id>797</session-id>
</hello>]]>]]>
2. Respond to the device with the client's <hello> statement. The client's <hello> statement can describe the
client's capabilities, or it can respond with just the base NETCONF capability. This example shows the minimal
<hello> response:
<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<capabilities>
<capability>urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0</capability>
</capabilities>
</hello>]]>]]>
3. Issue an <rpc> request to discard configuration changes:
<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="1012">
<discard-changes/>
</rpc>
]]>]]>
