NETCONF
Before sending NETCONF XML messages to any RUGGEDCOM NETCONF device, make sure NETCONF sessions are
enabled and configured. For more information, refer to either the RUGGEDCOM ROX II Web Interface or CLI User
Guides for the device.
The RUGGEDCOM ROX II User Guides also detail how to look up important statistics, such as the number of bad
hellos, the total number of dropped sessions, etc.
