Load Config XML

[sek3b]

Daryl,

I am having trouble using the router.load(); function i am attempting to load

<configuration>
    <policy-options>
        <prefix-list>
            <name>Shayne_TEST</name>
            <prefix-list-item>
                <name>10.10.0.5/32</name>
            </prefix-list-item>
        </prefix-list>
    </policy-options>
</configuration>

But i can not seem to get it to work. My assumption was this should work

var xml = "<configuration><policy-options><prefix-list><name>Shayne_TEST</name><prefix-list-item delete='delete'><name>10.10.0.5/32</name></prefix-list-item></prefix-list></policy-options></configuration>";

router.load({config: xml, action: 'merge', format: 'xml'}, commitConf);

But it always returns

{ rpcError: {"rpc_reply":{"$":{"xmlns_junos":"http://xml.juniper.net/junos/11.4R7/junos","message_id":101,"xmlns":"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0"},"load_configuration_results":{"rpc_error":{"error_severity":"error","error_info":{"bad_element":"<policy-options>\n<prefix-list>\n<name>Shayne_TEST</name>\n<prefix-list-item>\n<name>10.10.0.5/32</name>\n</prefix-list-item>\n</prefix-list>\n</policy-options>"},"error_message":"syntax error, expecting </configuration>"},"load_error_count":1}}}

I have gotten this to work by using the following.

policy-options {
    prefix-list Shayne_TEST {
        10.10.4.0/32;
    }
}

router.load({config: configData, action: 'merge', format: 'text'},
                         commitConf);

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated and i thank you very much for your work on this module

Found work arounds was in the mind set of using the XML and there was no real reason to use it.

I'll take a look at this. Loading XML configuration snippets isn't something that's well covered in the tests.
