Go-NETCONF

This library is a simple NETCONF client based on RFC6241 and RFC6242 (although not fully compliant yet).

Note: This library is a fork of the Juniper go-netconf library. This fork is open to pull requests and suggestions. Libraries like this should be easy to use and this library has a nicer abstraction layer using a 'Driver' interface. This is work-in-progress.

Features

• Support for SSH transport using go.crypto/ssh. (Other transports are planned).
• Built in RPC support (in progress).
• Support for custom RPCs.
• Independent of XML library. Free to choose encoding/xml or another third party library to parse the results.

Install

• Requires Go 1.4 or later
• Tests pass for 1.8 and later using Travis-CI (this is WIP)
• Please use git clone because this is a library and not an application

go get github.com/vinpatel24/go-netconf

Example

• See examples in examples/ directory.

This is the interface that go-netconf uses.

// Driver interface for building drivers that are self-contained from a user's perspective.
type Driver interface {
	Lock(ds string) (*rpc.RPCReply, error)
	Unlock(ds string) (*rpc.RPCReply, error)

	Close() error
	Dial() error
	DialTimeout() error
	SendRaw(rawxml string) (*rpc.RPCReply, error)
	GetConfig() (*rpc.RPCReply, error)
}

Please note, that two transport types exist; one for direct use on Junos and the other socket based over SSH. This driver mechanism promotes the easy interchange of lower level transports without messing about.
