The Form Of Xml Requests And Responses - Dell Force10 C150 Configuration Manual

The Form of XML Requests and Responses

To send an XML-formatted command through a Telnet or SSH client session, you first use the
xml
command to inform FTOS that you wish to switch to XML mode. See
page 1159.
Note: FTOS accepts well-formed XML requests, except that it does not currently support XML
Namespaces.
Request Format
You can then enter XML-formatted requests that conform to the following schema. Every XML request
begins with an XML declaration, followed by a "Method" type tag, followed by an "Operation" type tag,
as shown in this shell schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="0">
<Method>
</Method>
</Request>
Currently, for "Method", you must enter "cli". In place of "Operation", you enter either "configuration" or
"action", depending on the CLI mode that you want to invoke:
Namespace
<configuration>
