Using NETCONF to add an SNMP server

[ChrisNewnham_]

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.
