I have a Cisco CSR Router with Cisco XE installed.
I want to display the YANG capabilities of my router.
My code is as follows:
main.py
from ncclient import manager
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
router = {
"host": "10.0.0.1",
"port": "830",
"username": "admin",
"password": "******",
}
with manager.connect(
host=router["host"],
port=router["port"],
username=router["username"],
password=router["password"],
hostkey_verify=False,
allow_agent=False,
look_for_keys=False,
) as m:
ip_schema = m.get_schema("ietf-ip")
root = ET.fromstring(ip_schema.xml)
yang_tree = list(root)[0].text
f = open("ietf-ip.yang", "w")
f.write(yang_tree)
f.close()
Also, please find my show run on the router:

When i run the code, it gives an error `ncclient.transport.errors.SSHError: Could not open socket to 10.0.0.1:830
Any idea what might be causing that?
First you need to determine if netconf has been enabled on your router.
You can do so by just issue an SSH command telnet 10.0.0.1 830 from your machine.
If the telnet connects successfully, then it means that you lack SSH modules in python.
You can fix this by installing Paramiko using the command pip install paramiko
If the telnet fails, then just enable netconf on your Cisco Router with the command netconf-yang and try again.
