Chapter 3 Cisco Crs-1 Series Xml Operational Requests And Fault Management; Operational Get Requests - Cisco CRS-1 - Carrier Routing System Router Api Manual

Cisco CRS-1 Series XML Operational Requests
and Fault Management
A client application can send an extensible markup language (XML) request to get the Cisco CRS-1
Series Carrier Routing System (Cisco CRS-1 Series) router operational information using either a native
data <Get> request along with the <Operational> tag, or the equivalent command-line interface (CLI)
command. Although the CLI is more familiar to users, the advantage of using the <Get> request is that
the response data will be encoded in XML format instead of being just uninterpreted text enclosed within
<CLI> tags.
Note The XML API code is available for use on any Cisco platform that runs Cisco IOS XR software.

Operational Get Requests

The content and format of operational <Get> requests are described in additional detail in
"Cisco CRS-1 Series XML and Native Data Operations."
The following example shows a <Get> request to retrieve the global Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
process information. This request returns BGP process information similar to that displayed by the CLI
command show ip bgp process detail.
