Performing the <get-config>/<get-bulk-config> operation

The <get-config> and <get-bulk-config> operations are used to retrieve all non-default configurations, which are configured by means of CLI and MIB. The <get-config> and <get-bulk-config> messages can contain the <filter> element for filtering data.

The <get-config> and <get-bulk-config> messages are similar. The following is a <get-config> message example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rpc message-id="100" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <get-config>
    <source>
      <running/>
    </source>
    <filter>
      <top xmlns="http://www.hp.com/netconf/config:1.0">
          Specify the module name, submodule name, table name, and column name
      </top>
    </filter>
  </get-config>
</rpc>

After receiving the get-config request, the device returns a response in the following format if the operation is successful:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rpc-reply message-id="100" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <data>
    All data matching the specified filter
  </data>
</rpc-reply>
