The SR OS router can use NETCONF to perform the following router management operations:
change the router configuration using the <edit-config> operation
read the router configuration using the <get-config> operation (equivalent to the info command in CLI)
read operational status, data, and associated configuration information using the <get> operation (equivalent to the show commands in CLI)
NETCONF is not used to generate notifications on an SR OS router; for example, log events, syslog, or SNMP notifications (traps).
The equivalent of some admin commands are available through the SR OS NETCONF interface:
admin save can be done using the <copy-config> operation
admin rollback commands are supported using a CLI content layer <cli-action> RPC.
The bof, debug, tools, and other general CLI operational commands (for example, telnet or ping) are not supported through NETCONF on an SR OS router.
The SR OS NETCONF server supports both the base 1.1 and base 1.0 capabilities.
SR OS NETCONF supports both a CLI content layer and an XML-based content layer.
