Chapter 36. NETCONF

© Copyright Lenovo 2018
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides a mechanism to
manage the NE2552E, retrieve or modify existing configuration data, and upload
new configuration data. See RFC 4741 for details on NETCONF.
NETCONF operates in a client/server model. The NETCONF client establishes a
session with the switch (acting as a NETCONF server) using a Remote Procedure
Call (RPC). NETCONF is based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) for
encoding data and for exchanging configuration and protocol messages.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
