Using NETCONF with Perl Net::Netconf::Manager, I'm trying to get the candidate configuration to see what changed before issuing a commit request so I can avoid "empty" commits after doing a "replace" operation on a subtree. I see that NETCONF defines a standard <get-config> call, and I believe <get-configuration> is a legacy/proprietary Junos call. There is a <get-config> example in the documentation, but there doesn't appear to be a way to see what was changed in the candidate config vs. the committed config:
https://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos16.1/topics/task/program/netconf-perl-client-application-submitting-requests.html The API call I want to make is documented here: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos14.1/topics/reference/tag-summary/netconf-junos-xml-protocol-get-configuration.html But I can't for the life of me figure out how to pass the various attributes inside the <get-configuration> tag with Perl. How does one map the attributes INSIDE a tag to the Perl API call as below? <get-configuration changed="changed" compare="rollback" database="candidate"> This doesn't work: $res = $jnx->get_configuration(changed => 'changed', compare => 'rollback', database => 'candidate'); because that generates this: <rpc message-id='2'> <get-configuration> <database>candidate</database> <compare>rollback</compare> <changed>changed</changed> </get-configuration> </rpc> when I need it to be this: <rpc message-id='2'> <get-configuration database="candidate" compare="rollback" changed="changed"> </get-configuration> </rpc> Thanks. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
