Sending a Request to the NETCONF Server

To initiate a request to the NETCONF server, a client application emits the opening <rpc> tag, followed by one or more tag elements that represent the particular request, and the closing </rpc> tag, in that order:



<rpc> 

    <!- - tag elements representing a request - ->

</rpc> 

]]>]]>

Each request is enclosed in its own separate pair of opening <rpc> and closing </rpc> tags and must constitute a well-formed XML document by including only compliant and correctly ordered tag elements. For information about the ]]>]]> character sequence, see Generating Well-Formed XML Documents. For an example of emitting an <rpc> tag element in the context of a complete NETCONF session, see Example of a NETCONF Session.

The NETCONF server ignores any newline characters, spaces, or other white space characters that occur between tag elements in the tag stream, but it preserves white space within tag elements. For more information, see Spaces, Newline Characters, and Other White Space.
