NETCONF Capabilities
NETCONF capabilities are a set of functionalities that supplement the base
NETCONF specification.
NETCONF allows the client to discover the capabilities supported by the
server. These capabilities are sent to the management PC.
Table 9–1: NETCONF Standard Capabilities
Command Description
:candidate
The agent allows this special database to be locked,
edited, saved, and unlocked. The agent also
supports the operations:
<discard-changes>: clears all changes from the
<candidate/> configuration database and makes
it matching the <running/> configuration
database
<commit>: commits the contents of the
<candidate/> configuration database to the
<running/> configuration database
:confirmed-commit
This special mode requires an agent to send two
<commit> RPC requests instead of one, to save any
changes to the <running/> database. If the second
request does not arrive within a specified time
interval, the agent automatically reverts the running
configuration to the previous version.
:interleave
The agent accepts <rpc> requests (besides <close-
session>) while notification delivery is active. The
:notification capability must also be present
if this capability is advertised.
:notification
The agent supports the basic notification delivery
mechanisms defined in RFC 5277. The <create-
subscription> operation (creates a NETCONF
notification subscription) is accepted by the agent.
Unless the
:interleave capability is also
supported, only the <close-session> operation
(terminates this session) must be supported by the
agent while notification delivery is active.
:rollback-on-error
The agent supports the rollback-on-error value for
the <error-option> parameter to the <edit-config>
operation (modifies a configuration database). If
any error occurs during the requested edit
operation, the target database (usually the running
configuration) will be left affected. This provides
an all-or-nothing edit mode for a single <edit-
config> request.
