NETCONF Java Toolkit Class: Device

A net.juniper.netconf.Device object represents an SSHv2 connection and a default NETCONF session between the configuration management server and the device on which the NETCONF server resides.

When creating a Device object, you must provide the IP address or DNS name and the authentication details to create the SSHv2 connection. Authentication can be user-password based or RSA/DSA key-based. You also have the option of specifying the port number for the SSHv2 connection and the client capabilities to be sent to the NETCONF server.

Device (String hostname, String login, String password, String pemKeyFile)

Device (String hostname, String login, String password, String pemKeyFile, int port)

Device (String hostname, String login, String password, String pemKeyFile, 
                ArrayList capabilities)

Device (String hostname, String login, String password, String pemKeyFile, int port, 
                ArrayList capabilities)

• hostname—(Required) IP address or DNS name of the device on which the NETCONF server is running and to which to connect via SSHv2.
• login—(Required) Username for the login account on the device on which the NETCONF server is running.
• password—(Required) Password for either user password-based authentication or key-based authentication. If no password is required for key-based authentication, pass this argument as null.
• pemKeyFile—(Required) Path of the file containing the DSA/RSA private key in PEM format for key-based authentication. For user password-based authentication, pass this argument as null.
• port—(Optional) Port number on which to establish the SSHv2 connection. The default port is 830. If you are connecting to a device that is configured for NETCONF over SSH on a port other than the default port, you must specify that port number in the arguments.
• capabilities—(Optional) Client capabilities to be communicated to the NETCONF server, if the capabilities are other than the default capabilities.

  The default capabilities sent to the NETCONF server are:

  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0
  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0#candidate
  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0#confirmed-commit
  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0#validate
  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0#url?protocol=http,ftp,file

Device device_name = new Device (String hostname, String login, 
                                                                            String password, String pemKeyFile, 
                                                                            <int port>, <ArrayList capabilities>)

By default, a NetconfSession object is created when you create a new instance of Device and connect to a NETCONF server. Once you have created a Device object, you can perform NETCONF operations.

Device my_device = new Device("10.10.1.1", "admin", "PaSsWoRd", null);
my_device.connect();

Device my_device = new Device("10.10.1.1", "admin", "PaSsWoRd", null, 49000);

The default timeout value for connecting to the device is 5000 milliseconds. To set the timeout value to a different interval, call the setTimeOut() method on the device object.
