Chapter 6 Cisco Crs-1 Series Xml And Encapsulated Cli Operations; Xml Cli Command Tags - Cisco CRS-1 - Carrier Routing System Router Api Manual

Cisco CRS-1 Series XML and Encapsulated CLI
Operations
The extensible markup language (XML) interface for the Cisco CRS-1 Series Carrier Routing System
(Cisco CRS-1 Series) provides support for XML encapsulated command-line interface (CLI) commands
and responses.
This chapter provides information on XML CLI command tags.
Note The XML API code is available for use on any Cisco platform that runs Cisco IOS XR software.

XML CLI Command Tags

A client application can request a CLI command by encoding the text for the command within a pair of
<CLI> start and </CLI> end tags, and <Configuration> tags. The router will then respond with the
uninterpreted CLI text result.
XML encapsulated CLI commands use the same target configuration as the corresponding XML
Note
operations <Get>, <Set>, and <Delete>.
When used for CLI operations, the <Configuration> tag supports the optional Operation attribute, which
can take one of the values listed in
