Specifying the Scope of Configuration Information to Return in a NETCONF Response

In a NETCONF session with a device running Junos OS, a client application can request the entire configuration or specific portions of the configuration by including the appropriate child tag elements in the <filter> tag element within the <rpc> and <get-config> tag elements.

The type="subtree" attribute in the opening <filter> tag indicates that the client application is using Junos XML tag elements to represent the configuration elements about which it is requesting information.
