netconfd returns "invalid protocol framing characters received" for get-config request

[anukulverma]

Hi,

I m trying to use openssh commands to get device configuration.

hello message sent :

urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1 ]]>]]>

get-config payload:
#239

Netconfd server (Openyuma) returns following error:
#581

transport
malformed-message
error
data-invalid
invalid protocol framing characters received

378

1. Please make sure netconf-subsytem running over SSH and sshd is listening to port 830:
   netstat -tulpn | grep :830
2. Switch to use ncclient to get device running config
   $pip install ncclient or download from https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient

1. With base 1.0 everything works.

urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0 ]]>]]>

]]>]]>

So , not issue with connection or port.

1. I m using yangcli, ncclient, netopeer -> these r working fine for me. I m trying to develop my own client app for that i m trying with ssh commands.

Yes, netconf server (OpenYuma) is currently support base:1.0 and cause conflict with your client base:1.1.
So, you should get capabilities from server and switch to use appropriate version as same as ncclient.

[anukulverma]

Netconf server is sending both 1.1 & 1.0 to client in hello message,

urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0
urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.1

Please turn on debug log (i.e debug4) at netconf server to see a root cause

[anukulverma]

I saw this and copied payload from RFC only. Can u please send me the payload, if i m doing something wrong, i will compare and correct.

[hoangle]

I think you have to follow an payload format:
\n#\n
...\n
...\n
...\n
\n##\n

[anukulverma]

I have tried this also.

[anukulverma]

Is it possible for you to help me, to get it working?

[hoangle]

Sorry, what am I suggest is to read carefully at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6242#section-4.2 since I never try this before.
Try your best!

[hoangle]

Try this:
\n#4\n <rpc \n#18\n message-id="102"\n \n#79\n xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">\n <close-session/>\n </rpc> \n##\n

[anukulverma]

Hello @anukulverma, I understand that issue happened while ago, but would much appreciate if can you share the root cause and how to overcome.
