Description

Accounting Records for NETCONF Operations

Release 7.6.1

Depending on the accounting configuration command you use, every NETCONF operation that the router performs is reported to the local server as syslog messages or remote AAA servers like TACACS+ as accounting messages, or both.

With this feature, you can view the accounting logs of all NETCONF operations such as edit-config, get-config, get operations that are performed on the router. The logs include the following data:

  • RPC name

  • Commit ID

  • Session ID

  • Message ID

  • XPath

For more information, see Implementing System Logging chapter in the System Monitoring Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.

To enable NETCONF accounting logs, do the following steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Enter the configuration mode.

Example:

Router#conf t

Step 2

Create a method list for accounting.

Example:

Router(config)#aaa accounting commands default start-stop group tacacs+ local

Use one or both of the method list value to enable system accounting.

  • TACACS+—The logs are stored on the TACACS+ server.

  • Local—The logs are stored in a user-specified file on the router. The maximum file size is 2047 MB.

Step 3

Commit the configuration.

Example:

Router(config)#commit

Note

 

Syslog message about start and end of the session with details such as session ID, user, and remote address information is displayed for NETCONF operations only when both the EXEC accounting and local command accounting is enabled. 

Router(config)#aaa accounting exec default start-stop group tacacs+
Router(config)#aaa accounting commands default start-stop local

Example

NETCONF Accounting Logs

With the RPC commit operation, the configuration changes are reported in the form of CLI commands. In this example, the edit-config operation is converted into its equivalent CLI aaa accounting system default start-stop none command in the logs; the user ID and session ID details are logged.

rpc_msgid 6ed74d71-1eda-4757-a4d6-8223b6fca588

For other RPCs, the data is reported in the form of XPaths. In this example, the NETCONF operation does not report equivalent CLI command. The RPC name is recorded in the logs.For syslogs with length greater than 400 characters, the log is split into two entries. Here, the XPathis split for brevity

Description

Enhancements to openconfig-platform YANG Data Model

Release 7.3.2

The openconfig-platform YANG data model provides a structure for querying hardware and software router components via the NETCONF protocol. This release delivers an enhanced openconfig-platform YANG data model to provide information about:

  • software version

  • golden ISO (GISO) label

  • committed IOS XR packages

You can access this data model from the Github repository.

The openconfig-platform (oc-platform.yang) data model is enhanced to provide the following data:

  • IOS XR software version (optionally with GISO label)

  • Type, description, operational status of the component. For example, a CPU component reports its utilization, temperature or other physical properties.

  • List of the committed IOS XR packages

To retrieve oc-platform information from a router via NETCONF, ensure you configured the router with the SH server and management interface: 
Router#show run
Building configuration...
!! IOS XR Configuration version = 7.3.2
!! Last configuration change at Tue Sep  7 16:18:14 2016 by USER1
!
......

Description

YANG Data Models for MPLS OAM RPCs

Release 7.3.2

This feature introduces the Cisco-IOS-XR-mpls-ping-act and Cisco-IOS-XR-mpls-traceroute-act YANG data models to accommodate operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) RPCs for MPLS and SR-MPLS.

You can access these Cisco IOS XR native data models from the Github repository.

The Cisco-IOS-XR-mpls-ping-act and Cisco-IOS-XR-mpls-traceroute-act YANG data models are introduced to provide the following options:

  • Ping for MPLS:

    • MPLS IPv4 address

    • MPLS TE

    • FEC-129 Pseudowire

    • FEC-128 Pseudowire

    • Multisegment Pseudowire

  • Ping for SR-MPLS:

    • SR policy name or BSID with LSP end-point

    • SR MPLS IPv4 address

    • SR Nil-FEC labels

    • SR Flexible Algorithm

  • Traceroute for MPLS:

    • MPLS IPv4 address

    • MPLS TE

  • Traceroute for SR-MPLS:

    • SR policy name or BSID with LSP end-point

    • SR MPLS IPv4 address

    • SR Nil-FEC labels

    • SR Flexible Algorithm

The following example shows the ping operation for an SR policy and LSP end-point:
