Specify the Scope of Configuration Information to Return in a NETCONF Response
In a NETCONF session with a device running Junos OS, a client
application can request the entire configuration or specific portions
of the configuration by including the appropriate child tag elements
in the <filter> tag element within the <rpc> and <get-config> tag elements.
<rpc>
<get-config>
<source>
( <candidate/> | <running/> )
</source>
<filter type="subtree">
<!-- tag elements representing the configuration elements to return -->
</filter>
</get-config>
</rpc>
]]>]]>
The type="subtree" attribute in the
opening <filter> tag indicates that
the client application is using Junos XML tag elements to represent
the configuration elements about which it is requesting information.
