URL Capabilities

Overview

NetConf allows the complete OcNOS configuration to be replaced with a full Command Management Layer (CML) configuration. It also enables the backup of configurations in XML or JSON formats from all databases to a server. These functions are achieved using the Universal Resource Location (URL) capabilities identified in the following string:

Copy
"urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:url:1.0?scheme=http,ftp,file, https, sftp"

The HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP and file schemes in the URL capabilities provide the following operations in managing the OcNOS configurations.

copy-config
edit-config
delete-config

Limitations

The following operations are not supported:

copy-config with source as URL and target as startup and running
copy-config with source and target with a different URL.
copy-config with source and target with the same URL (not a valid operation)
edit-config using HTTPs and SFTP
delete-config from HTTPs and SFTP

Prerequisites

NetConf should be configured and active.
