To configure NETCONF in XML view, copy NETCONF messages to the device in strict accordance
with the NETCONF message format. To ensure successful NETCONF configuration, do not perform
any other operations such as manually entering NETCONF messages.
For the device to identify NETCONF messages, you must add end mark ]]>]]> at the end of each
NETCONF message.
After you enter XML view, the device automatically advertises its NETCONF capabilities to the client.
In response, you must configure the client to notify the device of its supported NETCONF capabilities.
After the capability exchange, you can use the client to configure the device.
NETCONF messages must comply with the XML format requirements and semantic and syntactic
requirements in the NETCONF XML API reference for the device. As a best practice, use third-party
software to generate NETCONF messages to ensure successful configuration.
To quit XML view, use a NETCONF message instead of the quit command.
If you have configured a shortcut key (Ctrl + C, by default) by using the escape-key command in
user line/user line class view, the NETCONF message should not contain the shortcut key string. If
the NETCONF message contains the shortcut key string, relevant configurations in XML view might
be affected. For example, in user line view, you configured "a" as the shortcut key by using the
escape-key a command. When a NETCONF message includes the character "a," only the contents
after the last "a" in the message can be processed.
