I'm testing with IOS-XE HW on 17.3.
The filter you've created to query the hostname as follows <filter><native does not work.
I've modified my filter this way and it works: <filter
I am not sure why is this. Any ideas?

Hello, great videos, thank you!
Just wondering if these topics are included for CCNP Enterprise, as its exam blueprint doesn't mention much (only verify and configure NETCONF & RESTCONF and basic python). As I am planning to take this exam soon and I didn't want to regret later so practicing NETCONF in detail. Any suggestion would be really helpful.

[BSCISCO]

Thanks for making these videos. I subscribe to you although I'm yet to dig into python or any network automation. When I do that, I'll be watching this entire playlist from 1. Thanks!

Dear Sir, can I use root tag of XML other string instead of <filter></filter> (in FILTER string)

[pb]

Hello, I followed your video line for line but I am getting this error: raise does not support [%s]' % capability)
Server does not support [:url]
I am using Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 17.03.02.

[matheusfacini]

On Linux (OcNOS), I had to use a syntax like this to make it work:
yourConnection().get_config('running', filter=("subtree", yourFilter))
Then, I had to remove <filter></filter> from the var that contains the filter itself.
If I did it like OP did, I could only get all <interfaces>, and it ignored <name>.

[vijethkumar]

am getting error :
RPCError: {'type': 'protocol', 'tag': 'unknown-element', 'app_tag': None, 'severity': 'error', 'info': '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><error-info xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"><bad-element>filter</bad-element>\n</error-info>\n', 'path': '\n /rpc/get-config\n ', 'message': None}

Any clue why ?
