Chapter 43. NETCONF

The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) provides a mechanism to
manage the G8264, 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:
