Using NETCONF to add an SNMP server

ChrisNewnham_ — Sat, 06 May 2023 19:00:08 GMT

Hello

I'm trying to use ncclient to add an SNMP server, after successfully getting the config. I really don't know where to put operation="create" or if I even need to do it.

This is just a lab environment, IOS-XE v 16.12.05

I don't think I'm trying to do that, I'm simply trying to change the SNMP server on the device using NETCONF.

Try

<config> <native xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-native"> <snmp-server> <community> <name>public</name> <RO/> </community> <host> <version>2c</version> <ip> <hostip>4.4.4.4</hostip> </ip> <community>public</community> </host> </snmp-server> </native> </config> """

No joy, said community is a bad element. Not sure where you got the above from, to be honest.

@ChrisNewnham_ test this on the DV sandbox version 17.09.02a. Works ok. HTH

from ncclient import manager import xml.dom.minidom RTR = manager.connect( host="sandbox-iosxe-latest-1.cisco.com", port="830", username="admin", password="C1sco12345", hostkey_verify=False) snmp_server_xml = """ <config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"> <native xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-native"> <snmp-server> <host-config xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-snmp"> <ip-community> <ip-address>4.4.4.4</ip-address> <community-or-user>MOO</community-or-user> </ip-community> </host-config> </snmp-server> </native> </config> """ edit_config_response = RTR.edit_config(target="running", config=snmp_server_xml)
