The “Show” Request and Response
To generate an XML request that encapsulates a “show” command (to request a report), you use the
<action> tag instead of the <configuration> tag as the Operation type. The schema of a show request
allows only one <command>, as shown here for the
show linecard
command. (Note that
“<command>
show line all
</command>” demonstrates that you can use both an abbreviated form of the
command and options, just as in the standard CLI):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="0">
<cli>
<action>
<command>
show line all
</command>
</action>
</cli>
</request>
The response from FTOS, if the command executes successfully, presents all of the content that you would
get in the equivalent CLI report. Note that the data are encapsulated in self-explanatory XML tags. The
following is an example of a
show linecard
report embedded in XML tags:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<response MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="0">
<action>
<linecard>
<slotId>3</slotId>
<status>online</status>
<nextBoot>online</nextBoot>
<reqType>E48TF3</reqType>
<numPorts>0</numPorts>
<swVer>6.5.1.1</swVer>
</linecard>
</action>
</response>
