Call home to loopback IP is failing

[svashok]

Hi Michal,

When we try to run a sample netconf client in the same VM where netconf server is hosted, we get the following error during call home.

local call home failing at sysrepocfg error: Invalid leafref value "default-ssh" - no target instance "/ncs:netconf-server/ncs:listen/ncs:endpoints/ncs:endpoint/ncs:name" with the same value. (path "/ietf-netconf-server:netconf-server/call-home/netconf-client[name='default-ssh']/endpoints/endpoint[name='local']/ssh/ssh-server-parameters/client-authentication/libnetconf2-netconf-server:endpoint-reference") (Validation failed)

Any suggestions please?

Basically I use the loopback IP for call home and this is the XML used:

The XML you posted includes only a listen endpoint. You need to merge the Call Home configuration into this one, if you want to reference the listen endpoint authentication settings from a call-home endpoint.

After adding the call home configuration and IETF keystore in the same XML, call home is working. Thanks.

I have a follow up question please. Can a Netconf server dynamically initiate call home to an additional client without restarting the server, when it is already running and connected with a few clients? One option is to use configured-client-info, but that has to be sent by an existing client. The existing clients will not have the information about the new client.

You can modify netopeer2-server configuration in run-time, so just normally add another client and the server should adjust itself accordingly.
