Configure RESTCONF API

To use the RESTCONF API on an OS10 interface, you must enable the RESTCONF API service using the rest api restconf command. You can also configure HTTPS access, including:
  • Hostname required in a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) self-signed server certificate
  • Timeout for the HTTPS connection
  • Cipher suites for encrypting data in an HTTPS connection

After you enable the RESTCONF API, you can send HTTPS requests from a remote device.

  1. (Optional) Configure the hostname required in the SSL self-signed server certificate in a RESTCONF HTTPS connection in CONFIGURATION mode, using a maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters. Enter the IP address or domain name of the OS10 switch. By default, the domain name of the OS10 switch is used as the hostname.
    rest https server-certificate name hostname
  2. (Optional) Configure the timeout that a RESTCONF HTTPS session uses in CONFIGURATION mode, from 30 to 65535 seconds; default 30.
    rest https session timeout seconds
  3. (Optional) Limit the ciphers that the switch uses in a RESTCONF HTTPS session to encrypt and decrypt data in CONFIGURATION mode. By default, all cipher suites installed on OS10 are supported. Separate multiple entries with a blank space. Valid cipher-suite values are:
    • dhe-rsa-with-aes-128-gcm-SHA256
    • dhe-rsa-with-aes-256-gcm-SHA384
    • ecdhe-rsa-with-aes-128-gcm-SHA256
    • ecdhe-rsa-with-aes-256-gcm-SHA384
    rest https cipher-suite
  4. Enable RESTCONF API in CONFIGURATION mode.
