The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| content string | This argument specifies the optional request content (all RPC attributes). The content value can either be provided as XML formatted string or as dictionary. | |
| display string |
| Encoding scheme to use when serializing output from the device. The option json will serialize the output as JSON data. If the option value is json it requires jxmlease to be installed on control node. The option pretty is similar to received XML response but is using human readable format (spaces, new lines). The option value xml is similar to received XML response but removes all XML namespaces. |
| rpc string / required | This argument specifies the request (name of the operation) to be executed on the remote NETCONF enabled device. | |
| xmlns string | NETCONF operations not defined in rfc6241 typically require the appropriate XML namespace to be set. In the case the request option is not already provided in XML format, the namespace can be defined by the xmlns option. |
