Overview of a NETCONF Session
Communication between the NETCONF server and
a client application is session-based. The two parties explicitly
establish a connection before exchanging data and close the connection
when they are finished. The following list outlines the basic structure
of a NETCONF session. For more specific information, see Controlling the NETCONF Session.
- The client application establishes a connection to the NETCONF server
and opens the NETCONF session.
- The NETCONF server and client application exchange initialization
information, used to determine if they are using compatible versions
of the JUNOS software and the NETCONF API.
- The client application sends one or more requests to the NETCONF server
and parses its responses.
- The client application closes the NETCONF session and
the connection to the NETCONF server.
