NETCONF/YANG Quick Example

This repository is a simple example of a couple Python scripts that can be used to retrieve and set configuration information from an IOS XE device. This code is provided to accompany a blog on the same topic.

You can execute these scripts yourself by reserving a DevNet Sandbox (completely free) and following these steps.

1. Clone the code and change to the clone directory.

   git clone https://github.com/hpreston/netconf_yang_blog
   cd netconf_yang_blog 

2. Connect to the sandbox VPN using the credentials sent to you through email.

3. (recommended) Create and activate a Python virtual environment.

4. Install the Python requirements.

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Get the configuration.

   python get_full_config.py

6. Send the configuration.

   python push_standard_config.py
