NETCONF message format
NETCONF
IMPORTANT:
When configuring NETCONF in XML view, you must add "]]>]]>" at the end of an XML message.
Otherwise, the device fails to identify the message.
All NETCONF messages are XML-based and comply with RFC 4741. Any incoming NETCONF messages
must pass XML Schema check before it can be processed. If a NETCONF message fails XML Schema
check, the device sends an error message to the client.
For information about the NETCONF operations supported by the device and the operable data, see the
NETCONF XML API reference for the switch.
