How to configure NETCONF in routers and switches cisco?

[XavierMarichal]

Hi friends,

I would like to know, how to configure NETCONF in routers and switches cisco? Is there a procedure?

With which Cisco devices can NETCONF be used? Is there a list of devices that accepts it?

Best regards,

You can start from here :

This is legacy NETCONF.  I would strongly recommend not using it unless you absolutely cannot use YANG-based NETCONF on the newer platforms.

Cisco devices now support YANG-based NETCONF, which is where the overall industry is heading.  While legacy NETCONF has been around since IOS 12.4, the new YANG requires 16.x for IOS-XE (no legacy IOS support), and is also available in IOS-XR and NX-OS.

See https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/prog/configuration/166/b_166_programmability_cg/configuring_yang_datamodel.html as a starting point for data-model-based NETCONF.  There are also a number of labs on DevNet to help get you comfortable with this.  For example, have a look at https://learninglabs.cisco.com/labs/tags/NETCONF .
