<rpc message-id="233" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
<edit-config>
<target>
<running/>
</target>
<config>
<switch xmlns="http://ruggedcom.com/ns/rmf_ifswitch">

<static-vlan>
<vid>0086</vid>
</static-vlan>
</vlans>
</switch>
</config>
</edit-config>
</rpc>]]>]]>
After making changes to the running configuration, you can use the validate command to check the syntax on the
configuration. For instructions on how to validate a configuration, refer to
Section 5.2

Changing Data in the Candidate Configuration

The recommended approach for changing data is to make your changes to the candidate configuration before
committing the changes to the running configuration. Making changes to the candidate configuration provides
the opportunity to validate the syntax of the configuration and to discard the changes if required.
As illustrated in Section 1.5.3, "Sample Session: Editing
committing it involves a multi-step workflow:
1. Connect to the device and say hello.
2. Lock the candidate and running configuration datastores.
3. Discard any stray changes to restore the configurations to a known state.
4. Edit the candidate configuration.
5. Validate the candidate configuration.
6. Commit the changes.
7. Unlock the datastores.
8. Close the session.
