Netconf Error <bad-element>type</bad-element>- Yangsuite

[Umesh Shetty]

hi Fellows

I am fairly new to using YangSuite and Netconf. I have a basic requirement to shut/un shut an interface on a switch. I installed YangSuite and am using the the edit-config functionality on the ietf-interfaces YANG module. I simply add the interface name and set the state to True. The RPC that is generated is as below 

<rpc xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="101">
<edit-config>
<target>
<running/>
</target>
<config>
<interfaces xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
<interface>
<name>Te5/0/8</name>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</interface>
</interfaces>
</config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>

When I run this RPC I get this error 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rpc-reply message-id="urn:uuid:54cf09c3-61e4-49cc-aca2-78cc6468177b" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <rpc-error>
    

    <error-type>application</error-type>
    

    <error-tag>data-missing</error-tag>
    

    <error-severity>error</error-severity>
    

    <error-path xmlns:if="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
    /rpc/edit-config/config/if:interfaces/if:interface[if:name='Te5/0/8']/if:type
  </error-path>
    <error-message xml:lang="en">/if:interfaces/interface[name='Te5/0/8']/type is not configured</error-message>
    <error-info>
      <bad-element>type</bad-element>
      

    </error-info>
    

  </rpc-error>
  

</rpc-reply>

Would someone be able to point out where the issues is ?

Hello @Umesh Shetty,

The XML appears valid. There is a mailer for customers to ask questions about YangSuite:

Hello,

The error-message is relatively clear . You need to specify the type.

      leaf type {
        type identityref {
          base interface-type;
        }
        mandatory true;
        description
          "The type of the interface.";
        reference
          "RFC 2863: The Interfaces Group MIB - ifType";
      }
