RE: Plz help regarding implemetation of NETCONF over SSH

[Shilpa Jayantilal Bharkhada <shilpab@tataelxsi.co.in>]

Hi Andy,
Sorry to bother you again on this.

Just wanted one more clarification for this if you could help.
When ssh client is being used to create the subsystem as in "ssh -s
ourserver.com -p 830 netconf" , I understand that the ssh client is directly
connecting to the netconf subsystem agent which is starting at port 830.

Is this the correct way for the client to connect to the netconf agent or
client should always connect to port 22 i.e to sshd server (and not directly
to 830) and ssh will take care of tunnelling the communication to the agent
app at 830 ?

Kindly help to understand section 3 of the RFC 4742 from your previous
implementation experience.I will highly appreciate this.
Any help in this regards from others will also be appreciated.
Regards,
Shilpa

no -- this sounds like an implementation detail in the client code,
usually passed in the command line parameters to the client
