Question

You are writing a Python script that uses RESTCONF (RFC 8040) against a Cisco IOS-XE device to administratively disable a single interface, GigabitEthernet2, by setting its 'enabled' leaf to false in the ietf-interfaces YANG model. The interface already has an IPv4 address and description configured that must be preserved. Which HTTP method and target URL combination correctly modifies only the 'enabled' leaf without risking removal of the other existing configuration on that interface?

Accepted Answer

PATCH to /restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface=GigabitEthernet2 with a body containing only the 'enabled' leaf set to false

Answer

PUT to /restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface=GigabitEthernet2 with a body containing only the 'enabled' leaf set to false

Answer
