    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": [

      "trunk-vlans": [940]

I know this thread hasn't had updates in a while, but I am facing a similar issue with the F5OS VLAN API call. 

I can do a GET request to /api/data/openconfig-vlan:vlans and return the current configuration. 

If I copy the response from the GET request, change the VLAN # and name, then resend it back to the device as a PATCH call I get the malformed response 400 response. 

{
  "ietf-restconf:errors": {
    "error": [
      {
        "error-type": "application",
        "error-tag": "malformed-message",
        "error-path": "/openconfig-vlan:vlans"
      }
    ]
  }
}


Here is my PATCH body

{
  "openconfig-vlan:vlans": {
    "vlan": [
      {
        "vlan-id": 1234,
        "config": {
          "vlan-id": 1234,
          "name": "test-api"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}


I have tried everything i can think of, even pulling payloads from the Ansible F5OS module, and nothing seems to be working for creating these VLANs. 

 

Thanks in advance for the help
