rfc-compliant (NETCONF)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Require that the NETCONF server enforce certain behaviors that are compliant with RFC 4741, NETCONF Configuration Protocol, during NETCONF sessions.

When you configure the rfc-compliant statement:

  • The NETCONF server explicitly declares the NETCONF namespace in its replies and qualifies all NETCONF tags with the nc prefix.

  • <get> and <get-config> operations that return no configuration data do not include an empty <configuration> element in RPC replies.

  • On devices running Junos OS Release 17.2R1 or later, the NETCONF server sets the default namespace for the <configuration> element to the same namespace as in the corresponding YANG model.

  • On devices running Junos OS Release 17.4R3, 18.2R2, 18.3R2, and 18.4R1 or later, the NETCONF server omits <rpc-error> elements with a severity level of warning in its replies when the operation is successful and returns an <ok/> element.

  • On devices running Junos OS Release 21.2R1 or later, the NETCONF server's response to <commit> operations includes the following changes:

    • If a successful <commit> operation returns a response with one or more warnings, the warnings are redirected to the system log file, in addition to being omitted from the response.

    • The NETCONF server response emits the <source-daemon> element as a child of the <error-info> element instead of the <rpc-error> element.

    • If you also configure the flatten-commit-results statement at the [edit system services netconf] hierarchy level, the NETCONF server suppresses any <commit-results> XML subtree and only emits an <ok/> or <rpc-error> element in its response.

  • On devices running Junos OS Release 23.2R1 or later and on devices running Junos OS Evolved Release 23.4R1 or later, the NETCONF server emits only an <ok/> or <rpc-error> element in response to <validate> operations. In earlier releases, the RPC reply also includes the <commit-results> element.

Default

If you do not include the rfc-compliant statement:

  • The NETCONF server sets the default namespace to the NETCONF namespace in RPC replies.

  • <get> and <get-config> operations that return no configuration data include an empty <configuration> element in RPC replies.

  • The NETCONF server does not set the default namespace for the <configuration> element to the same namespace as in the corresponding YANG model.

  • The NETCONF server might issue an RPC reply that includes both an <rpc-error> element with a severity level of warning and an <ok/> element.

  • The NETCONF server's response to <commit> and <validate> operations might not be RFC compliant.
