Introduction
Sample Session: Performing an Action 7
Figure 3: Performing an Action
Basic Steps
1. Connect to the device and exchange <hello> messages.
2. Issue an
<rpc>
command with the action to perform. The
<rpc>
request must contain the
<action>
element referring to the action namespace. You determine the action to perform by stating the RUGGEDCOM
namespace where the command is found, and then stating the path through the data model to the
command.
3. Close the session. Closing the session ensures that the NETCONF session closes gracefully without incomplete
processes or locked datastores.
Detailed Steps
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 NETCONF” .
The device responds with its <hello> statement:
