Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
- This module requires the NETCONF system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
|
|
- This module supports the use of connection=netconf
|
|
- To execute ``get-config``, ``get`` or ``edit-config`` requests it is recommended to use the Ansible *netconf_get* and *netconf_config* modules.
|
|
- This module is supported on ``ansible_network_os`` network platforms. See the :ref:`Network Platform Options <platform_options>` for details.
