Chapter 6 Cisco CRS-1 Series XML and Encapsulated CLI Operations

XML CLI Command Tags

The following example uses the <CLI> operation tag:

Sample XML Client Request for CLI Command Using CLI Tags

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<CLI>

router bgp 3

default-metric 10

timers bgp 80 160

exit

show config

</Configuration>

</CLI>

</Request>

<CLI>

Building configuration...

router bgp 3

default-metric 10

timers bgp 80 160

end

</Configuration>

</CLI>

</Response>

CLI Command Limitations

The initial CLI command support through XML is limited to CLI configuration and subsequent

responses wrapped in <CLI> tags.

The following conditions are not supported:

• <Operational> namespace commands.

• <Action> namespace commands.

• Sending a request in <CLI> format and getting back an XML encoded response.

• Sending an XML encoded request and getting back a response in <CLI> format.

• “Long running” commands, for example, “ping” and “top.”

Help Gets help on the last command in the list of commands sent in the

request. There should not be any empty lines after the last command

(because the last command is considered to be the one on the last

line)

CommandCompletion Completes the last keyword of the last command. Apart from not

allowing empty lines at the end of the list of commands sent in the

request, when this option is used there should not be any white

spaces after the partial keyword to be completed.
