Netconf-console on windows

NETCONF

Hi,

I like to use netconf-console on a windows machine. Any suggestion what I’d need to get going?

Below is my error trace on windows using netconf-console python script that comes with confd 6.3 linux i686:

I haven’t tried running netconf-console on Windows. Tail-f’s products and tools can usually only run on Linux.

However, there is now an optional feature on Windows 10 called Windows Subsystem for Linux. I don’t haven any first hand experience with this. You may want to give that a try.

I can confirm that netconf-console works using Windows Subsystem for Linux. You will need to install the python-paramiko package (sudo apt-get install python-paramiko)
