/api/space/device-management/devices/{id}/exec-rpc (v1)

The following operation is supported on this resource:

  • POST - Perform RPC operations on a device
POST /devices/{id}/exec-rpcVersion 1

This API is used to perform RPC operations on a device. It executes the different RPC commands after opening a channel to a device and it sets the status of executed RPC commmands. This API takes a device ID and a netconf transfer object containing the RPC command to perform.

The different versions of this API take the RPC in the following formats:

  • Version 3 (Asynchronous): JSON version takes the RPC command in JSON format.
  • Version 2 (Asynchronous): JSON version takes the RPC command in XML format.
  • Version 1 (Synchronous): JSON version takes the RPC command in XML format.

Note: The RPC command to be executed must not contain any <> tags. For example the following is incorrect:

   ![CDATA[<rpc><get-system-information/><rpc/>]]

The following input is correct:

   ![CDATA[<get-system-information/>]]/p>.
