Example for filtering data with regular expression match

Network requirements

Retrieve all data including Gigabit in the Description column of the Interfaces table under the Ifmgr module.

Configuration procedure

# Enter XML view.

<Sysname> xml

# Notify the device of the NETCONF capabilities supported on the client.

<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <capabilities>
    <capability>
            urn:ietf:params:netconf:base:1.0
    </capability>
  </capabilities>
</hello>

# Retrieve all data including Gigabit in the Description column of the Interfaces table under the Ifmgr module.

Verifying the configuration

If the client receives the following text, the operation is successful:
