OcNOS-SP : NetConf User Guide : URL Capabilities
URL Capabilities
OcNOS supports: url capability. The URL capability is identified by the following capability string:
"urn:ietf:params:netconf:capability:url:1.0?scheme=http,ftp,file"
OcNOS supports HTTP, FTP, and file schemes under this capability for these operations.
copy-config
edit-config
delete-config
Limitations
Operation copy-config operation with source as URL and target as startup is not supported.
Operation copy-config with source and target with different URL is not supported.
Operation copy-config with source as URL and target as running is not supported.
Operation copy-config with source and target with same URL is not a valid operation.
<copy-config>
Create or replace an entire configuration datastore with the contents of another complete configuration datastore. The :url capability modifies the <copy-config> operation to accept the <url> element as the value of the <source> and the <target> parameters. The file that the URL refers to contains the complete datastore, encoded in XML under the element <config> in the namespace below:
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
Copy URL configuration to candidate configuration store
As mentioned above, HTTP, FTP and file schemes are supported in URL capability.
Note: Yangcli supports URL option only in interactive mode.
