Abstract
A method and apparatus for the configuration of a network device through the exchange of XML documents is provided. A network device transmits multiple chunks of an XML document to a client in response to the size of the XML document being larger than a configurable size. The client does not receive any XML documents from network device that exceed the configurable size, and may abort receiving additional chunks of the XML document. The client and the network device may each discover which version of a data schema each other is using to reference components of the network device. The exchanged XML documents include version data that identifies a version for a plurality of data schemas that are each associated with a component of network device. The client and the network device may thus avoid exchanging ambiguous communications due to inconsistent versions of a data schema.
