PHP library for NETCONF
This software is not officially supported by Juniper Networks,but by a team dedicated to helping customers, partners and the development community.To report bug-fixes, issues, suggestion please contact [email protected]
PHP NETCONF APIs are designed to provide the same capabilties that a user would have on the Junos CLI, but in an environment built for automation tasks.These capabilities include, but are not limited to:
- Remote connectivity and management of Junos devices via NETCONF.
- Provide "facts" about the device such as software-version, serial-number etc.
- Retrieve "operational" or "run-state" information.
- Retrieve configuration information.
- Make configuration changes in unstructured and structured ways.
Installation requires Php and php-expect module. PHP-NETCONF_APIs are successfully tested in php5.5.3
Note: These installation steps are successfully tested in Fedora 15 i686 and Centos-6.5-i386 and Ubuntu12.04LTS and higher version.
Before installing PHP-NETCONF-API make sure that you have installed all the requirements.
For detailed steps about installation, refer to INSTALL.md file.
Download netconf-php folder in zip form at any path in your Desktop
* wget -O /any/path/in/Desktop/netconf-php-master.zip https://github.com/Juniper/netconf-php/archive/master.zip (usually default path of php is /usr/share/php)
* unzip netconf-php-master.zip
* Copy netconf folder in /usr/share/php (default php path)
include this path in your API for Device.php
For example while writing your code, include path
include('netconf/Device.php')
<?php
include('netconf/Device.php');
//creating a new device and establishing NETCONF session
$d= new Device("hostname", "username", "passwd");
$d->connect();
echo "connected to device";
//getting reply from server using execute_rpc() method
try
{
$inven=$d->execute_rpc("get-system-information");
echo $inven->to_string();
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo 'exception', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
//closing device
$d->close();
echo "device closed";
?>
Sample Output:
<rpc-reply xmlns=".......">
<system-information>
<hardware-model>olive</hardware-model>
<os-name>junos</os-name>
<os-version>13.2R4</os-version>
<host-name>foo</host-name>
</system-information>
</rpc-reply>
