Q: How to determine if a device supports the netconf feature?

The company has more equipment models, and to enable the function of netconf, how to determine whether the equipment itself supports the netconf function, and whether dis netconf capability can be used as a basis for judgment. fm9860-4c-ei uses this command without displaying back, but the product documentation shows that it is supported.

A:

Normally, it is judged according to the model and version

NETCONF belongs to the basic features of the switch, which are controlled by the Basic Software Feature License. The Basic Software Feature License is built-in and activated at the factory and does not need to be manually activated by the user.

Supported Models

9860EI, 8868EI, 8861EI, 8850-32CQ-EI, 8850-64CQ-EI, 6857EI, 6857E, 6857S, 6870-48S6CQ-EI, 6870-48T6CQ-EI, 6865EI, 6865SI, 6865E, 5855E, 5855S

Feature Dependencies and Limitations

The device supports only the SSH protocol as the bearer protocol for the NETCONF protocol, and you must configure SSH before using the NETCONF protocol to manage network devices.

Generally, the documentation of the corresponding version of the switch that says it is supported supports the feature; if it does not, it will be specifically stated in the NETCONF configuration notes. So don't worry about it. Moreover, you can't be sure that it supports this feature even if you check it with this command, only that it has this command.
