Connectivity Guide

● -k specifies a text file to read curl arguments from. The command line arguments found in the text file will be used as if they
were provided on the command line. Use the IP address or URL of the OS10 switch when you access the OS10 RESTCONF
API from a remote orchestration system.
● -H specifies an extra header to include in the request when sending HTTPS to a server. You can enter multiple extra
headers.
● -d sends the specified data in an HTTPS request.
In curl commands, use %2F to represent a backslash (/); for example, enter ethernet1/2/3 as ethernet1%2F1%2F3.
View XML structure of CLI commands
To use the RESTCONF API to configure and monitor an OS10 switch, create an HTTPS request with data parameters in JSON
format. The JSON data parameters correspond to the same parameters in the XML structure of an OS10 command.
To display the parameter values in the XML code of an OS10 command as reference, use the debug cli netconf command
in EXEC mode. In CONFIGURATION mode, use the do debug cli netconf command.
This command enables a CLI-to-XML display. At the prompt, enter the OS10 command of the XML request and the reply you
need. To exit the CLI-to-XML display, use the no debug cli netconf command.
Locate the XML parameters values for the same JSON data arguments. For example, to configure VLAN 20 on an OS10 switch,
enter the RESTCONF endpoint and JSON contents in the curl command. Note how the JSON type and name parameters are
displayed in the XML structure of the interface vlan command.
●
RESTCONF endpoint: /restconf/data/interfaces
● JSON data content:
{
"interface": [{
"type": "iana-if-type:l2vlan",
"enabled": true,
“description”: “vlan20”,
"name": "vlan20"
}]
}
● curl command:
curl -X POST –u admin:admin –k "https://10.11.86.113/restconf/data/interfaces"
-H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{ "interface": [{ "type": "iana-if-type:l2vlan", "enabled": true,
“description”:“vlan20”, "name":"vlan20"}]}'
To display values for the type and name parameters in the curl command, display the XML structure of the interface vlan
20 configuration command:
OS10(config)# do debug cli netconf
OS10(config)# interface vlan 10
