Usage Guidelines
The XMLIN tool converts CLI commands to the NETCONF protocol format. NETCONF is a network management protocol that provides mechanisms to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices. It uses XML-based encoding for configuration data and protocol messages. The Cisco NX-OS implementation of the NETCONF protocol supports the following protocol operations: <get>, <edit-config>, <close-session>, <kill-session>, and <exec-command>.
The XMLIN tool converts show, EXEC, and configuration commands to corresponding NETCONF <get>, <exec-command>, and <edit-config> requests. You can enter multiple configuration commands into a single NETCONF <edit-config> instance.
Note the following restrictions:
- In NETCONF, <edit-config> requests cannot consist of any show commands.
- In each <get-config> instance, only one show command is allowed.
Note
Although the XMLIN tool is usually capable of generating NETCONF instances of commands even if the corresponding feature sets or the required hardware capabilities are not available on the device, you might have to install some feature sets before entering the xmlin command.
The XMLIN tool also converts the output of show commands to XML format by using the show-command | xmlin command.
Ensure the XMLIN tool is installed before you use the show-command | xmlin command.
Note XMLIN requires no license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
Examples
This example shows how the XMLIN tool is installed on the device and used to convert a set of configuration commands to an <edit-config> instance:
