A DTD is the basis for XML configuration documents that you create using the
ACE. The purpose of a DTD is to define the legal building blocks of an XML
document by defining the document structure with a list of legal elements.
DTD designates an XML list that specifies precisely which elements can appear
in a request, query, or response document. It also specifies the contents and
attributes of the elements. A DTD can be declared inline in your XML document
or as an external reference.
The ACE DTD file, ace_appliance.dtd, is included as part of the software image
and is accessible from a web browser using either HTTP or HTTPS. See the
"Accessing the ACE DTD File"
directly access the ace_appliance.dtd file or open the ace_appliance.dtd file from
the Cisco ACE Appliance Management page.
By default, XML responses will automatically appear in XML format if the
corresponding CLI show command output supports the XML format. However, if
you are running commands on the CLI console or you are running raw XML
responses from NMS, the XML responses appear in regular CLI display format.
See the "Enabling the Display of Raw XML Request show Command Output in
XML Format" section for details. For details on the show command output
supported in XML format, consult the ace_appliance.dtd file.
