Protocol Operations

This section describes the netconfd-pro implementation details that may affect usage of the NETCONF protocol operations.

Every protocol operation is defined with a YANG rpc statement.

All NETCONF operations and several proprietary operations are supported,

<backup>

The <backup> operation is used to create a named configuration backup file on the server. This operation is used with the <restore> operation.

Only local files are supported.

The --with-yumaworks-system CLI parameter must be set to 'true' in the server configuration.

The agt_backup_dir path string must be set to a valid directory in the agt_profile struct.

By default, only a superuser account is allowed to invoke this operation.

+---x backup
   +---w input
      +---w filename     ywt:NcxFileName
      +---w overwrite?   boolean

<backup> Operation Usage

Min parameters:

1

Max parameters:

2

Return type:

status

YANG file:

yumaworks-system.yang

Capabilities needed:

none

Mandatory Parameters:

  • filename:

    • The file name with extension for the backup. The directory is determined by the agt_backup_dir profile variable. The file name string is specified by the NcxFileName typedef in yumaworks-types.yang.

Optional Parameters:

  • overwrite:

    • TRUE if it is OK to overwrite a backup with the same name, if it exists. FALSE if an error should be returned if the backup named 'filename' already exists. The default is FALSE.

Returns:

  • <ok/>

Possible Operation Errors:

  • none

Example Request:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc message-id="2" trace-id="2" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

ietf-netconf.yang

Capabilities needed:

Mandatory Parameters:

  • none

Optional Parameters:

Returns:

  • <ok/>

Possible Operation Errors:

  • none

</nc:rpc-reply>

<cancel-subscription>

The <cancel-subscription> operation is used to cancel a notification subscription.

If the calling session has a subscription previously created with <create-subscription>, then the subscription will be canceled and removed from memory. If no subscription is active the server will simply return <ok/>.

This operation will only be present if the --with-notifications parameter is set to 'true'.

<commit>

The <commit> operation is only available when the :candidate capability is supported.

The input parameters are only supported if the :confirmed-commit capability is supported.

  • This operation causes all the edits in the <candidate> configuration to be applied to the <running> configuration. If there are no edits, then this operation has no affect.

  • If multiple sessions have made edits to the <candidate> configuration (because locking was not used), then all these edits will be applied at once, not just the edits from the current session.

  • It the <candidate> or <running> configurations are locked by another session, then this operation will fail with an 'in-use' error.

Normally, if there have been no changes made to the <candidate> configuration, then this operation has no effect. An <ok/> response will be returned without altering the <running> configuration.

However, if the <running> configuration encountered any errors during the initial load from NV-storage (such as startup-cfg.xml), then the current contents of the <running> configuration will be written to NV-storage, even if there are no changes to the <candidate> configuration.

The :confirmed-commit capability is fully supported:

  • confirmed-commit:1.0

  • confirmed-commit:1.1

+---x commit {candidate}?
    +---w input
       +---w confirmed?         empty {confirmed-commit}?

<copy-config>

The <copy-config> operation is used to transfer entire configuration databases in one operation.

The <source> and <target> parameters are simple to understand, but there are many interactions and some complexity, due to so many combinations of optional capabilities that are possible.

When in-line configuration data is used in the <source> parameter, it is applied to the <target> differently, depending on the database.

  • If the <target> is the <startup> configuration, then the new configuration simply overwrites the old one, and no validation is done at all.

  • If the <target> is the <candidate> or <running> configuration, then the new configuration overwrites the old one, but validation is done similar to the <edit-config> operation. All validation and access control procedures are followed.

The <with-defaults> parameter is also available for filtering the output as it is copied to the target.

+---x copy-config
   +---w input
      +---w target
      |  +---w (config-target)
      |     +--:(candidate)
      |     |  +---w candidate?   empty {candidate}?
      |     +--:(running)
      |     |  +---w running?     empty {writable-running}?
      |     +--:(startup)
      |     |  +---w startup?     empty {startup}?
      |     +--:(url)
      |        +---w url?         inet:uri {url}?
      +---w source
         +---w (config-source)
            +--:(candidate)
            |  +---w candidate?   empty {candidate}?
            +--:(running)
            |  +---w running?     empty
            +--:(startup)

<create-subscription>

The <create-subscription> operation is used to start a NETCONF notifications subscription.

The mandatory 'NETCONF' stream is supported by netconfd-pro. Event streams are created 2 ways:

A replay subscription is created by including the <startTime> parameter.

The subscription will continue until the session is closed, unless the <stopTime> parameter is present. In that case, the subscription will terminate at that time (if in the future) or when all replay notifications with a lower <eventTime> value have been delivered.

This operation will only be present if the --with-notifications parameter is set to 'true'.

The replay notification feature can be controlled with the --eventlog-size configuration parameter. If this is set to '0', then no stored notifications will be available for replay. The default is store the most recent 1000 system notification events.

An entry will be created in the 'subscriptions' data structure in the ietf-netconf-monitoring module, when the subscription is successfully started.

+---x create-subscription
   +---w input
      +---w stream?      streamNameType
      +---w filter?      <anyxml>

YANG file:

notifications.yang

Capabilities needed:

:notification

Capabilities optional:

:interleave

Mandatory Parameters:

  • none

Optional Parameters:

  • stream

    • type: string

    • default: 'NETCONF'

    • This parameter specifies the name of the notification stream for this subscription request.

  • filter

    • type: anyxml (same as the <get> or <get-config> filter parameter)

    • default: none

    • This parameter specifies a boolean filter that should be applied to the stream. This is the same format as the standard <filter> element in RFC 4741, except that instead of creating a subset of the database for an <rpc-reply> PDU, the filter is used as a boolean test to send or drop each notification delivered from the server.

      • If any nodes are left in the 'test response', the server will send the entire notification.

      • If the result is empty after the filter is applied to the “test response”, then the server will not send the notification at all.

      • It is possible that access control will either cause the a notification to be dropped entirely, or may be pruned and still delivered. The standard is not clear on this topic. The netconfd-pro server will prune any unauthorized payload from an eventType, but if the <eventType> itself is unauthorized, the entire notification will be dropped.

  • startTime

    • type: yang:date-and-time

    • This parameter causes any matching replay notifications to be delivered by the server, if notification replay is supported by the server. A notification will match if its <eventTime> value is greater or equal to the value of this parameter.

  • stopTime

    • type: yang:date-and-time

    • usage: not allowed unless startTime is also present

    • This parameter causes any matching replay notifications to be delivered by the server, if notification replay is supported by the server. A notification will match if its <eventTime> value is less than the value of this parameter.

      • This parameter must be greater than the <startTime> parameter, or an error will be returned by the server.

Returns:

  • <ok/>

Possible Operation Errors:

  • access-denied

  • subscription already active

<delete-config>

The <delete-config> operation is used to delete the entire contents of a NETCONF database.

By default, only users designated as 'superuser' accounts are allowed to invoke this operation.

If the :startup capability is supported, then the <startup> configuration can be cleared. This will affect the startup file that was actually loaded into the server, or the default file if the --no-startup configuration parameter was used.

If the --no-nvstore parameter is used, then there will not be any startup configuration file to delete.

Note

The <running> and <candidate> configurations cannot be deleted.

The <startup> configuration can be repopulated with the <copy-config> or <commit> operations.

<discard-changes>

The <discard-changes> operation is used to remove any edits from the <candidate> configuration. This is done by deleting the contents of the <candidate> and re-filling it with the contents of the <running> configuration.

If the <candidate> configuration is locked by another session, this operation will fail.

<edit-config>

The <edit-config> operation is used to alter the target database.

The target database is the <candidate> configuration if the --target configuration parameter is set to 'candidate', and the <running> configuration if it is set to 'running'.

The 'nc:operation' attribute must appear within the inline <config> parameter contents if the <default-operation> parameter is set to 'none', or the <edit-config> operation will have no affect. This is not an error condition.

This attribute may appear any number of times, and be arbitrarily nested within the <config> parameter contents. Certain combinations will cause errors, however, so this must be done carefully.

  • For example, a 'delete' operation nested within a 'create' operation is an error, because the conditions for both operations cannot possibly be satisfied at once.

  • Other combinations, such as 'merge' within 'create' are not an error because there are no conflicting conditions present for either operation.

<establish-subscription>

The <establish-subscription> operation is used to start a notification subscription, using RFC 8639 subscriptions. This is required to used YANG Push.

This operation is not present unless the server is build with the WITH_YANG_PUSH=1 or EVERYTHING=1 make flag and the “yang-push” bundle is loaded.

Refer to the YANG Push section for complete usage information for this feature.

This operation has two usage modes, using a YANG choice for this purpose:

  • event stream subscriptions: similar to using the <create-subscription> operation except RFC 8639 subscriptions are used.

    • Multiple subscriptions per session are allowed.

      • There is no way to tell which event stream subscription caused an event to be included.

      • This feature allows a session to subscribe to multiple event streams at once, or the same event stream (hopefully with different, non-overlapping filters).

      • It is possible for a client session to receive the same notification more than once if a session subscribes to the same event stream multiple times.

    • Each client subscribing to an event-stream has access to the same set notification events (assuming NACM rights are the same). In this way, event stream subscriptions are shared subscriptions.

  • datastore subscriptions: YANG Push subscriptions to a specific datastore.

    • These are not shared subscriptions.

    • There is no event stream or replay buffer

    • Each subscription gets its own updates and other notifications.

    • There are 2 types of dynamic subscription defined in RFC 8641, which are periodic and on-change subscriptions. There are different sets of parameters for each type.

Event Stream Subscription

Mandatory Parameters:

  • stream

  • type: stream-ref

  • This parameter specifies the name of the event stream to use. The NETCONF event stream should always be present. Other values are derived from the event stream configuration on the server.

Optional Parameters:

  • stream-filter: choice of 3 options

    • stream-filter-name:

      • type: stream-filter-ref

      • default: none

      • This parameter specifies the name of a stream filter to use in the /filters/stream-filter list

    • stream-subtree-filter:

      • type: anydata

      • default: none

      • This parameter specifies the inline subtree filter to use

    • stream-xpath-filter:

      • type: xpath1.0

      • default: none

      • This parameter specifies the inline XPath filter to use. Prefixes are not required but if they are provided then an “xmlns” attribute defining each prefix to namespace mapping must be present in the XML.

  • replay-start-time

    • type: date-and-time

    • default: none

    • This parameter specifies that replay mode is desired and the replay should include notifications with timestamps greater than the specified value. The replay-start-time-revision leaf is returned if the actual value used is greater than the value requested.

  • stop-time

    • type: date-and-time

    • default: none

    • This parameter specifies that replay mode is desired and the replay should stop including notifications with timestamps less than the specified value.

  • encoding

    • type: identityref

    • default: none

    • This parameter specifies the notification message encoding that is desired. The only value supported at this time is encoding-xml.

Datastore Subscription

Mandatory Parameters:

  • datastore

  • type: identityref

  • This parameter specifies the datastore that will be used for the subscription; One of:

    • candidate

    • running

    • operational

  • update-trigger: choice of 2 options

    • periodic

      • type: presence container

      • default: none

      • This parameter specifies that a periodic subscription is desired. These subscriptions are controlled by the --push-max-periodic parameter. A new subscription will only be established if the limit has not already been reached.

      • child period (mandatory)

        • type: centiseconds

        • default: none

        • This parameter specifies the period to wait between updates. The --push-min-period parameter is used to enforce restrictions beyond the standard.

      • child anchor-time

        • type: date-and-time

        • default: none

        • This parameter is not yet supported.

    • on-change

      • type: presence container

      • default: none

      • This parameter specifies that an on-change subscription is desired. These subscriptions are controlled by the --push-max-operational parameter, if the datastore parameter is ‘operational’. A new subscription will only be established if the limit has not already been reached.

      • child dampening-period (usually mandatory)

        • type: centiseconds

        • default: none

        • This parameter specifies the dampening period to wait between on-change updates. The --push-min-dampening parameter is used to enforce restrictions beyond the standard.

          This parameter can be left out for a simulated operational on-change subscription. In that case, the --push-simop-period parameter will be used instead.

          If both parameters apply, then the maximum value of both of them will be used as the dampening period value.

      • child sync-on-start (optional)

        • type: boolean

        • default: true

        • This parameter specifies that the first update should be a push-update instead of a push-change-update.

        • type: enumeration (create, delete, insert, move, replace)

        • default: none (do not exclude any events

        • This parameter specifies that the event types that should be excluded from the subscription. At least one event type must be included or a ‘cant-exclude’ error-app-tag will be returned. If the subscription is for simulated operational on-change events, then the “replace” event cannot be excluded.

Optional Parameters:

  • selection-filter: choice of 3 options

    • selection-filter-ref:

      • type: selection-filter-ref

    • type: date-and-time

    • default: none

    • This parameter specifies that replay mode is desired and the replay should stop including notifications with timestamps less than the specified value.

  • encoding

    • type: identityref

    • default: none

<get>

The <get> operation is used to retrieve data from the <running> configuration, or non-configuration data available on the server.

Warning

Using this operation without any filter will return all data nodes available on the server. This may be generate a large response and waste resources.

A filter parameter (e.g., subtree or XPath) should always be used with this operation.

To select only specific subsets of all available data, use subtree or XPath filtering by providing a <filter> parameter. Namespace prefixes are optional to use in XPath expressions. The netconfd-pro will figure out the proper namespace, if possible. If prefixes are used, then they must be valid XML prefixes with a namespace properly declared in the PDU.

The retrieval of leaf or leaf-list nodes with default values is controlled with the <with-defaults> parameter.

If a portion of the requested data is not available due to access control restrictions, then that data is silently dropped from the <rpc-reply> message. It is implicitly understood that the client is only requesting data for which it is authorized to receive, in the event such data is selected in the request.

    • type: date-and-time

    • usage: optional

    • pre-requisites: --with-yuma-time-filter=true

    • This parameter requests that configuration data only be returned if any of the running datastore contents have been modified since this value.

      Monitoring data (config = false) does not affect the datastore timestamp.

      If the running datastore has not been modified since this timestamp, then an empty <data> element will be returned, and the request will not be processed.

  • with-owners

    • type: empty

    • default: not present (false)

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter specifies that the owner metadata should be returned in the configuration (if applicable).

    • No owner attributes will be returned unless the --save-owners parameter is set to 'true'.

  • depth:

    • type: union (uint32, ‘unbounded’)

    • default: unbounded

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter controls the depth of subtrees copied to the target. It is the same as the RESTCONF protocol “depth” query parameter.

  • module-tag:

    • type: string

    • default: none

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter is used as a filter to include only data nodes from modules that match the module-tag value.

      • Multiple module-tag parameters can be used, combined to form a logical OR expression.

      • At least one module-tag must match or no data will be returned.

      • This filter is combined with the XPath or subtree filter, if present.

Returns:

  • <data> element

Possible Operation Errors:

  • access-denied

  • invalid-value

<get-bulk>

The <get-bulk> operation is used to iterate through the entries of a YANG list from the NETCONF server. It is defined in the yumaworks-getbulk.yang module.

  • This operation requires that WITH_RESTCONF=1 or EVERYTHING=1 is used to build the server image, even though this is a NETCONF operation.

  • This operation will only be present if the --with-yumaworks-getbulk parameter is set to 'true' (the default value).

The list-target parameter is used to specify the YANG list object that will be retrieved. If this YANG list is nested within other lists then all corresponding ancestor keys for those lists are expected in the path string. Only one list can be iterated at a time.

The list-test parameter allows an XPath boolean expression to be used to test each list-target entry. It is used to select only a subset of the list entries to reduce the number of entries returned.

If a portion of the requested data is not available due to access control restrictions, then that data is silently dropped from the <rpc-reply> message. It is implicitly understood that the client is only requesting data for which it is authorized to receive, in the event such data is selected in the request.

Iterator Usage

Some important application design considerations:

  • This operation is designed to be completely stateless for the server.

  • There are no reserved resources used for a client "walk" through the list entries.

  • The list may change between invocations of this operation.

  • The 'last-keys' subtree is used to prevent entries from being missed or duplicated.

Note

  • This operation does not take a "snapshot" of server data.

  • No extra memory is used in the server for this operation.

  • There is no setup or cleanup needed.

The client is expected to start the iteration through the YANG list by providing the target and filtering parameters. The 'last-keys' parameter is not expected in the first invocation.

The client will expect the 'last-keys' output parameter to be returned in the response. This data can then be used directly as the 'last-keys' input parameter for the next iteration.

For faster performance, set the count parameter to a value other than the default '1'. This parameter is not the same as the --max-getbulk CLI parameter, used by the server instrumentation to limit the maximum entries per callback.

For a list with multiple keys, it is possible to fix 1 or more key values and only iterate through the remaining key leafs for the list.

  • If a key value is provided in the fixed-keys input parameter then the corresponding last-keys value (if any) will be ignored.

  • If all key values are provided in the fixed-keys input parameter then only one list entry will be returned (if found).

<get-bulk> Output

The output of this operation returns two components:

  • data: anydata container with zero or more instaces of the list-target as child nodes,

  • last-keys: anydata container that will have the key leaf nodes from the last list entry returned in the 'data' container

Note that the output is different than normal NETCONF retrieval operations:

  • The output data will only contain instances of the requested list-target.

  • The ancestor nodes will not be present, like a <get> operation.

  • The client should remember the list-target, since it is not returned in the response.

Note

  • Starting in release 22.10-14:

    The ywx:datapath attribute is used in the output "<data>" node to allow the list data nodes to be properly identified.

Example: <data> Element Prior to 22.10-14

Note that since the 'data' node is 'anydata', the actual schema object for the 'module' list is not used on the yangcli-pro or yp-shell client.

<rpc-reply message-id="1" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <bulk xmlns="http://yumaworks.com/ns/yumaworks-getbulk">
    <data>
      <!-- module elements removed -->
    </data>
  </bulk>
</rpc-reply>

Example: <data> Element Starting in 22.10-14

Note that the ywx:datapath attribute identifies the parent node of the list-target object.

  • This will cause yangcli-pro and yp-shell to treat the 'data' container as the 'modules-state' parent node.

  • This allows the XML to be properly parsed, the same way as data returned from a data retrieval command such as sget.

  • This format is not XPath.

  • The first node will contain a module prefix (not module name like RFC 7951)

  • Descendant nodes will not have a prefix unless the module prefix changes due to an augment from an external module.

<get-bulk> Operation Usage

Min parameters:

1

Max parameters:

8

Return type:

data

YANG file:

yumaworks-getbulk.yang

Capabilities needed:

none

Capabilities optional:

Mandatory Parameters:

  • list-target

    • type: string (RESTCONF path URI)

    • usage: mandatory

    • This parameter identifies the list object that is being retrieved. This must be a path expression used to represent a list data node. It is formatted like a RESTCONF path expression, except module names are not mandatory if they are unique.

Optional Parameters:

  • datastore

    • type: enumeration (candidate running startup)

    • usage: optional

    • default: running

    • This parameter specifies the name of the source database for the retrieval operation. It is ignored if the 'list-target' specifies a non-configuration data node.

    • enum: candidate

    • enum : running

      • capabilities needed: none

    • enum: startup

  • count

    • type: unint32

    • usage: optional

    • default: 1

    • The maximum number of list entries to return.

  • content

    • type: enumeration

    • usage: optional

    • default: all

    • This parameter specifies which type of content to include, exactly the same as the RESTCONF “content” query parameter

      • enum: config

        • Include only config=true descendant data nodes

      • enum: nonconfig

        • include only config=false descendant data nodes

      • enum: all

        • include all descendant data nodes

  • depth

    • type: uint32

    • usage: optional

    • default: unbounded

    • This parameter is used as defined in the RESTCONF protocol. The value '1' is associated with the list-object node itself. This value can be used to simply test for the existence of any instances of the list-object.

  • with-defaults

    • type: enumeration (none report-all report-all-tagged trim explicit)

    • usage: --default-style configuration parameter used as the default if no value is provided

    • This parameter controls how default leaf and leaf-list nodes are returned by the server.

  • last-keys

    • type: container of leafs

    • usage: optional

    • default: start with the first list entry if this parameter not present

    • This parameter contains the key values of a list entry to start the search from.

      • Usually this is the same as the <last-keys> container returned from the previous call to <get-bulk>.

      • Any last-keys values can be sent, not just the previous value returned by the server. The lexi-next entry for each provided key will be checked.

    • All key leafs must be in the same order as defined in the YANG list, and all key leafs must be present.

    • The 'fixed-keys' parameter values may override values in this parameter.

  • list-test

    • type: leaf containing an XPath expression

    • usage: optional

    • default: return all selected list-target entries

    • This parameter contains an XPath expression. The document root and the context node are set to the list instance being tested. The expression can only reference descendant-or-self nodes The XPath result will be converted with the boolean() function if needed 'true' boolean result : include list instance 'false' boolean result: exclude list instance

  • fixed-keys

    • type: container of leafs

    • usage: optional

    • default: none

    • This parameter contains the key values of a target list entry that should not be changed. These keys will be fixed instead of iterating through all possible values of that key.

    • Each key value overrides any 'last-keys' corresponding 'last-keys' value

Returns:

  • <bulk> element

    • <data> element

      • Contains the requested list entries. Each child element in this container will represent one instance of the list object requested by the 'list-target' parameter.

    • <last-keys> element

      • Contains the key leafs from the last list entry in the <data> element. This container can be passed back to the server as the <last-keys> parameter to continue the retrieval at the entry after the one specified by the key leafs in this container.

Possible Operation Errors:

  • access-denied

  • invalid-value

<get-bulk> Nested List Example

In this example, the following made-up complex YANG data structure is used:

container top-one-a {
  container top-one {
    list second-one {
      key "index direction";
      leaf index { type string; }
      leaf direction { type int8; }
      list LIST2 {
        key name;
        leaf name { type string; }
        leaf-list resource2 { type string; }
      }
    }
  }
}

Nested Iterator: First Request

In this example, the nested list 'LIST2' is retrieved.

  • The parent is also list called 'second-one'

  • The ancestor keys for this list are for the following entry:

    • index: test1

    • direction: 5

  • list-target: /top-one-a/top-one/second-one=test1,5/LIST2

  • count: 2

  • last-keys: not present

Note that RESTCONF key value encoding format is used. This is defined in the RESTCONF specification in RFC 8040#section-3.5.3.

Example get-bulk Request:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc message-id="6"
 xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
 <get-bulk xmlns="http://yumaworks.com/ns/yumaworks-getbulk">
  <list-target>/top-one-a/top-one/second-one=test1,5/LIST2</list-target>
  <count>2</count>
 </get-bulk>
</rpc>

Nested Iterator: First Response

Note that 2 'LIST2' list entries are returned and the 'last-keys' container has the keys of the second 'LIST2' list entry.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="6"
 xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
 <bulk xmlns="http://yumaworks.com/ns/yumaworks-getbulk">

   xmlns:ya="http://yumaworks.com/ns/yumaworks-attrs"
   ya:datapath="/one_list:top-one-a/top-one/second-one">

   <name xmlns="http://ciena.com/ns/yang/one_list">second</name>
  </last-keys>
 </bulk>
</rpc-reply>

The yangcli-pro JSON output for this data will be correct (starting in 22.10-14) because the actual objects are used to parse the data, instead of 'anydata' nodes.

  • Note that this is most visible on list and leaf-list nodes, which were not rendered as arrays (e.g., list 'LIST2' and leaf-list 'resource2`):

{
  "yuma-netconf:rpc-reply": {
    "bulk": {
      "data": {
        "LIST2": [
          {
            "name":"first",
            "resource2": [
              "aaa",
              "bbb",
              "ccc"
            ]
          },
          {
            "name":"second",
            "resource2": [
              "xxx"
            ]
          }
        ]
      },
      "last-keys": {
        "one_list:name":"second"
      }
    }
  }
}

<get-config>

The <get-config> operation is used to retrieve data from a NETCONF configuration database.

To select only specific subsets of all available data, use subtree or XPath filtering by providing a <filter> parameter. Namespace prefixes are optional to use in XPath expressions. The netconfd-pro will figure out the proper namespace, if possible. If prefixes are used, then they must be valid XML prefixes with a namespace properly declared in the PDU.

The retrieval of leaf or leaf-list nodes with default values is controlled with the <with-defaults> parameter.

If a portion of the requested data is not available due to access control restrictions, then that data is silently dropped from the <rpc-reply> message. It is implicitly understood that the client is only requesting data for which it is authorized to receive, in the event such data is selected in the request.

Capabilities needed:

none

Capabilities optional:

Mandatory Parameters:

  • source

    • type: container with 1 of N choice of leafs

    • usage: mandatory

    • This parameter specifies the name of the source database for the retrieval operation.

    • container contents: 1 of N:

      • candidate

      • running

        • type: empty

        • capabilities needed: none

      • startup

        • type: empty

        • capabilities needed: startup

Optional Parameters:

  • filter

    • type='subtree'

      • type: anyxml

      • This parameter specifies the subset of the database that should be retrieved.

    • type='xpath' select='expr'

      • type: empty

      • The unqualified select attribute is used to specify an XPath filter.

  • with-defaults

    • type: enumeration (none report-all report-all-tagged trim explicit)

    • The --default-style parameter used as the default if no value is provided

    • This parameter controls how default leaf and leaf-list nodes are returned by the server.

  • if-modified-since

    • type: date-and-time

    • usage: optional

    • pre-requisites: --with-yuma-time-filter=true

    • This parameter requests that configuration data only be returned if any of the running datastore contents have been modified since this value.

      Monitoring data (config = false) does not affect the datastore timestamp.

      If the running datastore has not been modified since this timestamp, then an empty <data> element will be returned, and the request will not be processed.

  • with-owners

    • type: empty

    • default: not present (false)

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter specifies that the owner metadata should be returned in the configuration (if applicable).

    • No owner attributes will be returned unless the --save-owners parameter is set to 'true'.

  • depth:

    • type: union (uint32, ‘unbounded’)

    • default: unbounded

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter controls the depth of subtrees copied to the target. It is the same as the RESTCONF protocol “depth” query parameter.

  • module-tag:

    • type: string

    • default: none

    • pre-requisites: --with-yumaworks-system=true

    • This parameter is used as a filter to include only data nodes from modules that match the module-tag value.

      • Multiple module-tag parameters can be used, combined to form a logical OR expression.

      • At least one module-tag must match or no data will be returned.

      • This filter is combined with the XPath or subtree filter, if present.

Returns:

  • <data> element

Possible Operation Errors:

  • access-denied

  • invalid-value

<get-data>

The <get-data> operation is used to retrieve data from a NMDA datastore.

The --with-nmda parameter must be set to 'true' for this operation to be present.

To select only specific subsets of all available data, use subtree or XPath filtering by providing a <subtree-filter> or <xpath-filter> parameter. Namespace prefixes are optional to use in XPath expressions. The netconfd-pro will figure out the proper namespace, if possible. If prefixes are used, then they must be valid XML prefixes with a namespace properly declared in the PDU.

The retrieval of leaf or leaf-list nodes with default values is controlled with the <with-defaults> parameter.

If a portion of the requested data is not available due to access control restrictions, then that data is silently dropped from the <rpc-reply> message. It is implicitly understood that the client is only requesting data for which it is authorized to receive, in the event such data is selected in the request.

HA Role State

The following typedef is used to convey the current HA role state of a server

typedef HaRoleState {
  type enumeration {
    enum none {
      description HA_STATE_NONE;
    }
    enum disabled {
      description HA_STATE_DISABLED;
    }
    enum error {
      description HA_STATE_ERROR;
    }
    enum wait-role {
      description HA_STATE_WAIT_ROLE;
    }
    enum be-active {
      description HA_STATE_BE_ACTIVE;
    }
    enum active {
      description HA_STATE_ACTIVE;
    }
    enum be-standby {
      description HA_STATE_BE_STANDBY;
    }
    enum standby {
      description HA_STATE_STANDBY;
    }
    enum shutting-down {
      description HA_STATE_SHUTTING_DOWN;
    }
  }
  description "YP-HA role state enumerations";
}

The role states that are considered “stable” are:

  • none: no HA state assigned. If ha-enabled=true then this will block all management sessions (except DB-API subrpc requests will be processed)

  • active: this is the HA active server. Only one per HA pool should exist in an HA pool.

  • standby: this is an HA standby server. One or more of these servers should exist in an HA pool.

HA Status Grouping

The following grouping is defined so the HA status information can be reused in different contexts.

It is currently used for the contents of the ha-status container in the RPC output for the <get-ha-status> operations.

<get-sm-yanglib>

The <get-sm-yanglib> operation is used to retrieve YANG Library information for a Schema Mount Point Identifier. he operation returns the YANG library contents for the specified mount point label.

The standard mechanism is not robust or efficient for several reasons:

  • The YANG library is duplicated for every mount point instance.

  • The client does not know the ancestor keys for any mount point instance so must retrieve all instances which is very inefficient since they are the same in each instance.

  • The YANG library does not exist until the mount point exists. This creates an ordering problem so a client must first create the mount point, get the YANG library, and then start using the mounted modules.

  • Access control issues can make it difficult to read the YANG module inventory, depending on the mount point instance and the NACM configuration.

Support for '/modules-state' is provided only. The NMDA YANG library is only available via a normal 'get' or 'get-data' operation on the '/yang-library' subtree.

<get-support-save>

The <get-support-save> operation is used to retrieve technical support information from the server.

The XML data that is returned can be saved in a file and used by the support-save-app program to extract some data to help reproduce software issues.

This operation is tagged as nacm:default-deny-all, so normal users cannot invoke this operation.

The yumaworks-support-save.yang module must be loaded for this operation to be present.

If NACM is enabled then an explicit NACM rule must be used or a superuser session must be used. Otherwise the server will return an access-denied error.

Only one support-save operation can be in progress at once. A ‘resource-denied’ error is returned if another support-save operation is already in progress.

No duplicate local-names are allowed in the top-level child nodes of the support-save-data anydata container.

The module file must already be present in the module search path of the server.

There must not be any version of the module already loaded.

This operation is tagged as nacm:default-deny-all, so by default, only a superuser account is allowed to use it.

This operation appears in 2 YANG modules:

Note

If both yuma-system and yumaworks-system modules are loaded then the proper namespace must be used in any XML messages for these modules.

<load-bundle>

The <load-bundle> operation is used to load new YANG modules at run-time, which are compiled together as a SIL bundle.

All modules in the SIL bundle must already be present in the module search path of the server.

There must not be any version of any modules in the bundle already loaded.

This operation is tagged as nacm:default-deny-all, so by default, only a super user account is allowed to use it.

<lock>

Note

  • Datastore locking should be used for all configuration datastores on the server.

  • Multiple <lock> operations are required if more than one datastore is used (e.g., --target='candidate').

  • If more than one client is trying to lock datastores at the same time, a 'stalemate' can occur where each client has one datastore lock and waiting for another one.

  • Use the <lock-all> operation to simplify datastore locking and prevent the problems causes by the <lock> operation.

The <lock> operation is used to insure exclusive write access to an entire configuration database.

The <running> configuration can be locked at any time, if it is currently unlocked.

If the :startup capability is supported, the <startup> configuration can be locked at any time, if it is currently unlocked.

If the :candidate capability is supported, and it is not already locked, then it may usually be locked. However, the <candidate> configuration can only be locked if there are no edits already contained within it. A <discard-changes> operation may be needed to clear any leftover edits, if this operation fails with a 'resource-denied' error instead of a 'lock-denied' error.

If the session holding the lock is terminated for any reason, the lock will be released, as if the <unlock> operation was invoked.

Automatic Lock Release

The server will automatically release a global configuration lock in some cases:

  • The session holding the lock is closed with the <close-session> operation.

  • The session holding the lock is killed with the <kill-session> operation.

  • The session holding the lock is closed because the transport layer connection is terminated.

  • The session holding the lock is closed because the --idle-timeout parameter was enforced for the session.

  • The session holding the lock is closed because the --idle-timeout parameter was enforced for the session.

  • The session holding the lock is not closed, but the --max-lock-hold-time parameter was enforced for the session.

<lock-all>

The <lock-all> operation is used to insure exclusive write access to all the configuration datastores at once. It is only present if the --with-yumaworks-lock parameter is set to 'true'.

Lock all global configuration datastores:

  • This always includes the <running> datastore.

  • If the :candidate capability is supported then it also includes the <candidate> datastore.

  • If the :startup capability is supported then it also includes the <startup> datastore.

The server will attempt to obtain 1 to 3 global datastore locks:

  • If all datastores are ok to lock by this session then the server will lock all-or-none configuration datastores and return 'ok'.

  • If this operation is used to lock datastores then the <unlock-all> operation must be used to unlock all the datastores at once. The <unlock> operation will be rejected if the <lock>' operation was not used to obtain the datastore lock.

  • If any datastore is not ok to lock, e.g. already locked by any session, then the server will return 'in-use' and not lock any datastores.

  • All Automatic Lock Release procedures followed for apply to all locks obtained with this operation.

  • All datastore restrictions for the <lock> operation apply to this operation as well.

<replay-config>

The <replay-config> operation is used internally to replay the <running> datastore contents to the internal SIL and SIL-SA callbacks. This is needed when the server instrumentation (e.g., SIL-SA subsystem) has reset and needs to be re-synched with the <running> datastore.

Note

This is an internal API that is not accessible to any client protocols.

<resync-subscription>

The <resync-subscription> operation is used to re-synchronize a push notification subscription, using RFC 8639 subscriptions. Only the session that started the subscription can use this operation on that session. The subscription must be for an on-change datastore type.

This operation is not present unless the server is build with the WITH_YANG_PUSH=1 or EVERYTHING=1 make flag and the “yang-push” bundle is loaded.

For YANG Push, a "resynch" means a full update is sent by the server, and further "patch" messages are updates to that full update.

<unload>

The <unload> operation is used to remove a YANG module from the system:

  • The YANG module and all its SIL code (if any) will be removed from the running server. They will not be deleted from disk.

  • Remove any data nodes in the system from the module.

  • Remove the module from the server capabilities and NETCONF monitoring data.

  • Remove the module namespace from the system.

  • Note: this operation does not remove the --module parameter from the server configuration file if it exists.

The following conditions must be true for the unload to be attempted by the server:

  • The module is allowed to be unloaded. It is data-model and vendor specific whether a module can be removed at run-time.

  • There are no dependencies on the module being removed. No modules that import this module are also loaded.

  • The module was loaded into the server, either via the <load> operation or the --module configuration parameter.

  • No datastores are currently locked. The server will attempt to lock all datastores on behalf of the client

for the entire unload operation.

  • The candidate datastore does not contain any edits that have not been committed.

  • No confirmed-commit operation is in progress.

If all these conditions are met then the server will attempt to unload the specified module. The unload operation can fail for various reasons:

  • The client does not have write privileges for all data being deleted. This includes any top-level data nodes and any nested augment nodes in other modules.

  • The deletion of one or more nodes would cause the running datastore to fail any YANG validation tests in RFC 6020, sec. 8.3.3.

  • Server resource errors occur

The --with-yumaworks-system parameter must be set to 'true' for this operation to be present.

<unload-bundle>

The <unload-bundle> operation is used to remove a SIL bundle (multiple YANG modules at once) from the system:

  • All the YANG modules in the bundle and all their SIL code (if any) will be removed from the running server. They will not be deleted from disk.

  • Remove any data nodes in the system from all the modules in the bundle.

  • Remove all the modules from the server capabilities and NETCONF monitoring data.

  • Remove all the module namespaces from the system.

  • Note: this operation does not remove the --bundle parameter from the server configuration file if it exists.

The following conditions must be true for the unload-bundle to be attempted by the server:

  • The bundle is allowed to be unloaded. It is data-model and vendor specific whether a bundle can be removed at run-time.

  • There are no dependencies on the modules being removed, from outside the bundle. No modules that import this module can be loaded after the bundle is unloaded.

  • The bundle was loaded into the server, either via the <load-bundle> operation or the --bundle configuration parameter.

  • No datastores are currently locked. The server will attempt to lock all datastores on behalf of the client for the entire unload-bundle operation.

  • The candidate datastore does not contain any edits that have not been committed.

  • No confirmed-commit operation is in progress.

If all these conditions are met then the server will attempt to unload-bundle the specified modules. The unload-bundle operation can fail for various reasons:

  • The client does not have write privileges for all data being deleted. This includes any top-level data nodes and any nested augment nodes in other modules.

  • The deletion of one or more nodes would cause the running datastore to fail any YANG validation tests in RFC 6020, sec. 8.3.3.

  • Server resource errors occur

The --with-yumaworks-system parameter must be set to 'true' for this operation to be present.

<unlock>

The <unlock> operation is used to release a global lock held by the current session.

The specified configuration database must be locked, or a 'no-access' <error-app-tag> and an <error-message> of 'wrong-config-state' will be returned.

If the <candidate> configuration contains any edits that have not been committed, then these edits will all be lost if the <unlock> operation is invoked. A <discard-changes> operation is performed automatically by the server when the <candidate> database is unlocked.

This operation cannot be used with the <lock-all> operation. The datastore lock must be obtained with the <lock> operation in order for this operation to succeed.

<unlock-all>

The <unlock-all> operation is used to unlock all datastores that are currently locked using the <lock-all> operation. It is only present if the --with-yumaworks-lock parameter is set to 'true'.

  • This always includes the <running> datastore.

  • If the :candidate capability is supported then it also includes the <candidate> datastore.

  • If the :startup capability is supported then it also includes the <startup> datastore.

The server will attempt to release all global locks that were previously locked:

  • If all datastores are ok to unlock by this session then the server will unlock all the datastores and return 'ok'.

  • If the event any datastore is not ok to unlock the server will return the appropriate error.

  • All Automatic Lock Release procedures followed for the <unlock> operation apply to all locks obtained with this operation.

  • All datastore restrictions for the <unlock> operation apply to this operation as well.
