Getting "inconsistent value: Device refused one or more commands" when trying to configure interface using RESTCONF

[mohanconnects]

Hello,

When trying to configure CAT9K switch interface via RESTCONF, getting device refused one or more commands error, provided below the tried steps.

Used POSTMAN tool.

Get the individual interface details.

GET https://192.168.43.2/restconf/data/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet=1%2F0%2F14

GET response.

{
  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:GigabitEthernet": {
    "name": "1/0/14"
  }
}

Tried to Configure the same interface using PUT method.

PUT https://192.168.43.2/restconf/data/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet=1%2F0%2F14

Body - raw - JSON

{
  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:GigabitEthernet": {
    "name": "1/0/14",
    "ip": {
      "address": {
        "primary": {
          "address": "87.1.1.10",
          "mask": "255.255.255.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

PUT Response

{
  "errors": {
    "error": [
      {
        "error-message": "inconsistent value: Device refused one or more commands",
        "error-path": "/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet=\"1/0/14\"",
        "error-tag": "invalid-value",
        "error-type": "application"
      }
    ]
  }

Tried to Configure the same interface using Patch method.

PATCH https://192.168.43.2/restconf/data/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet

Body - raw - JSON

{
  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:GigabitEthernet": {
    "name": "1/0/14",
    "ip": {
      "address": {
        "primary": {
          "address": "87.1.1.10",
          "mask": "255.255.255.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

PATCH Response

{
  "errors": {
    "error": [
      {
        "error-message": "inconsistent value: Device refused one or more commands",
        "error-path": "/Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/interface/GigabitEthernet",
        "error-tag": "invalid-value",
        "error-type": "application"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Are the PUT, PATCH URI are correct?

How to configure the interface?

Thanks,

Mohan

Hi Mohan

For PUT or PATCH commands, when some raw JSON attributed, try this command:

PUT https://192.168.43.2/restconf/data

Body - raw - JSON

{
  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:GigabitEthernet": {
    "name": "1/0/14",
    "ip": {
      "address": {
        "primary": {
          "address": "87.1.1.10",
          "mask": "255.255.255.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Dear Mohan,

I encontered the similar problem,I want to dive into it.

I run GET, phenomenal below, when I modify telnet to ssh or append ,"ssh" after "telent" ,run PATCH , okay no problem, respone 204,check the configration on device,show ssh appended, but if I modify telnet to none or all, got respone 400,Bad request.

{

  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:vty": [

    {

      "first": 0,

      "last": 4,

      "transport": {

        "input": {

          "input": ["telnet"]

        }

      }

    },

    {

      "first": 5,

      "last": 6,

      "transport": {

        "input": {

          "input": ["none"]

        }

      }

    }

  ]

}

At last try Mr. Gorelik's method, failed, if you found solution, please leave a message, thank you.

kindly regards,

yours sincerely 

Yao,Eric

I believe you are missing top level containers in your payload. There should be something like this:

{
  "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native": {
    "line": {
      "vty": [
        {
          "first": 0,
          "last": 4,
          "transport": {
            "input": {
              "input": [
                "telnet"
              ]
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "first": 5,
          "last": 6,
          "transport": {
            "input": {
              "input": [
                "none"
               ]
             }
           }
         }
       ]
     }
   }
}
