That was super helpful. when i went through Knox's course, I had no idea where he had gotten the xml when he was demoing netconf. but then he move on to restconf and that was much friendlier to learn. still, nothing beats a REST API and json key value pairs for simplicity. Thanks so much.
Add a new configuration through the CLI then pull and review the configuration change in the NETCONF XML data structure. This is a great video and a practical tip for anyone looking to begin working with new data structures. Start simple and work your way up.
Thanks for making this video. I have been struggling with learning how to use yang models. I always get stuck when I try to figure out (1) which model to use (2) how to get the model and edit it.
Hey Jnyanesh! IOSXR is supported but the workflow is slightly different. Which is frustrating - I wish the different platforms behaved the same but there's a few changes required to get XR to work. For example you don't put the "operation="replace"" at the feature level in the payload, etc. I will likely make an XR specific video in the future to address these differences :) -John

Thanks, Stephen! Really glad to hear you find them useful :) I've finished all my sections for DEVCOR - in fact i'd probably say it's 95% completed now. So at a guess, I'd say maybe a few weeks until its release? Not long anyway! haha Thanks again man for the kind words, I really appreciate it -John
@@spaynter Love it! Well the course should definitely be dropping very soon. We all worked extra hard on this one so hopefully you like it. And as always, if you're going through any of my content - DEVCOR or otherwise -and have any questions feel free to message me anytime. Best place to get me is on Twitter :)

Wonderful explanation in simplest way. Thank you

Another amazing video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience :D
Thanks, Kamil!!
Great video! Looking for a way to just translate the CLI config without hunting, is it possible yet?
Good video mate keep em coming for us.
Thanks, George! I will do! And thanks for leaving your feedback, I genuinely appreciate it :)

Looks very easy thanks. The examples showed are not working on IOS-XR. Is it supported?
