NSO with FMC: restconf - challenge with object creation

[Michal Garcarz]

Hello Team,

NSO 4.6.2 with FMC registred, i am using restconf API to manage my FMC via NSO. I am able to read the objects, example in CLI:

 #show devices device FMC01 | display xpath
.....
/devices/device[name='FMC01']/cisco-fmc-meta:ciscofmc-id-store/object/networks[name='mgarcarz_object_network_1']/id 005056A5-7145-0ed3-0000-614180324637

And i am able to use restconf like this:

GET request for:http://{{host}}:8080/restconf/data/devices/device=FMC01/config/object/networks=mgarcarz_object_network_1

and getting 200 with body:

<networks xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ned/cisco-fmc"  xmlns:cisco-fmc="http://tail-f.com/ned/cisco-fmc"  xmlns:ncs="http://tail-f.com/ns/ncs">
    <name>mgarcarz_object_network_1</name>
    <value>1.2.3.0/24</value>
</networks>

Now i do struggle with POST and network object creation. When i am passing similar XML for POST i got the following error:

I have tried several combinations, but no luck. What should be the URI and body to create exactly same object which i have displayed above ?

Thanks,

Michal

P.S When i use json instead of xml for all operations i do have identical error.

Perhaps try the following as your URL:

POST --> http://{{host}}:8080/restconf/data/devices/device=FMC01/config/object

And your body/payload:

<networks>
    <name>mgarcarz_object_network_1</name>
    <value>1.2.3.0/24</value>
</networks>

 See if that works.

Also, this should be covered in nso_northbound guide with examples.
