    Try the following;

    curl -k -X PATCH -H'Content-Type: application/yang-data+json' -u admin:admin "https://192.168.10.11/api/data/openconfig-interfaces:interfaces/interface" --data @- <<EOF
{
 "interface": [
   {
    "name": "6.0",
    "openconfig-if-ethernet:ethernet": {
    "openconfig-vlan:switched-vlan": {
      "config": {
      "trunk-vlans": [940]
      }
    }
   }
  }
 ]
}

So I tried and failed.
PATCH https://10.10.10.10/api/data/openconfig-vlan:vlans/vlan=30/members

{"openconfig-vlan:members": {
    "member": [
        {
        "state":
                {
                    "interface": "Production_trunk"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

 

But it gives me 400 as a response code with such strange error code:

{
    "ietf-restconf:errors": {
        "error": [
            {
                "error-type": "application",
                "error-tag": "malformed-message",
                "error-path": "/openconfig-vlan:vlans/vlan[vlan-id='30']/members",
                "error-message": "object is not writable: /oc-vlan:vlans/oc-vlan:vlan[oc-vlan:vlan-id='30']/oc-vlan:members/oc-vlan:member"
            }
        ]
    }
}

 

the vlan 30 exists, the trunk exists as well

    Yes that is the correct, it has to be done through interface API endpoint, Thanks Raam.

    I just wonder what's the reason to have such complicated key names like "openconfig-vlan:switched-vlan", I don't see any benefits in that..

      Just ran into it earlier today. Netconf/yang is painful..

      I think the fact the "members" container is not writable is either a bug, or the documentation needs a serious overhaul.

      I will open a case for that..
