Xpath Location Formats Determined by Device Configuration

You specify the source and destination of the
load partial
command using xpath locations, which specify the XML node in the configuration you are copying from (
from-xpath
) and the XML node in the candidate configuration you are copying to (
to-xpath
). Determining the correct xpath is a critical part of using this command. The following table shows the format for the
from-xpath
and
to-xpath
on different types of devices. Notice that the
from-xpath
begins at
devices
or
shared
, whereas the
to-xpath
begins with
/config
.
