A change to the REST interface certificate may result in a planned restart of ConfD and temporary loss
of connectivity over the NETCONF and REST (if still enabled) interfaces.
Changes to global certificates which ConfD is using while REST is enabled will also result in a restart of
ConfD.
Important
rest hostname
This NETCONF Protocol Configuration mode command specifies a hostname the web server will serve. If
configured, mandates the web server to only service requests whose Host field matches the configured
hostname.
The command syntax is: rest hostname host_name, where host_name is an alphanumeric string of 1 to 63
characters.
Use no rest hostname to use the system name; matching of hostname is not mandated.
A change to the REST interface hostname may result in a planned restart of ConfD and temporary loss
of connectivity over the NETCONF and REST (if still enabled) interfaces.
Changes to global certificates which ConfD is using while REST is enabled will also result in a restart of
ConfD.
Important
rest port
This NETCONF Protocol Configuration mode command sets the REST interface port number.
The command syntax is: rest port port_number, where port_number must be an integer from 1 through 65535.
Use no rest port to reset the port number to default 443.
A change to the REST interface port value may result in a planned restart of ConfD and temporary loss
of connectivity over the NETCONF and REST (if still enabled) interfaces.
Changes to global certificates which ConfD is using while REST is enabled will also result in a restart of
ConfD.

Sample Configuration
The following command sequence establishes a ConfD configuration in support of NETCONF protocol.
A type v2-RSA SSH key is required for enabling server confd.
