I am trying to get config from an IOS-XE device in CML2 and keep hitting the same issue when I try to filter the config elements I want to return.
I am trying to simply filter the hostname of the device in the first instance using a python script copied from the DevNet examples online.
Script:
from device_info import rdc1a
from ncclient import manager
# NETCONF filter to use
netconf_filter = """
<filter>
<native xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-native">
<hostname></hostname>
</native>
</filter>
"""
if __name__ == '__main__':
# format = "%(asctime)s: %(message)s"
# logging.basicConfig(format=format, level=logging.INFO, datefmt="%H:%M:%S")
with manager.connect(host=rdc1a["address"],
port=rdc1a["port"],
username=rdc1a["username"],
password=rdc1a["password"],
hostkey_verify=False) as m:
# Get Configuration and State Info for Interface
netconf_reply = m.get_config('running', netconf_filter)
print(netconf_reply)This is exactly like examples I find online but in every instance if I try to use a filter I get the following error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<error-info
xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"
xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<bad-element>filter</bad-element>\n
</error-info>
It saying "filter" is a bad element? What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.
