Make configuration changes — <edit-config>
An example of how to use the <edit-config> RPC to modify the candidate datastore.
You can add, modify, replace or delete the configuration. You can make multiple <edit-config> RPCs if you wish.
Depending on the precise parameters that you use in your request, the operation may terminate on an error, or continue.
Note that <edit-config> will affect only the part of the configuration that you explicitly reference. You should not use it to replace the whole
configuration — for that, use <copy-config> instead.
A <default-operation> set to replace will only replace the configuration where you provide a replacement, and
nowhere else.
In this example, we set the description on a loopback interface. Note that the operation attribute must use the namespace of the
<config> operation.
