The exhibit shows an XML configuration using NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) to edit the configuration of a network device. Specifically, the <edit-config> operation is being used with the nc:operation="delete" attribute within the <interface> element. This means that the configuration is intended to delete specific configurations related to the interface named FastEthernet0/0/3.9.
Here is the detailed explanation:
* The <rpc> element initiates a remote procedure call.
* The <edit-config> element specifies the operation to be performed.
* The <target> element with <running> indicates that the changes are to be made to the running configuration.
* The <config> element contains the configuration data to be applied.
* Within <interfaces>, the <interface> element with nc:operation="delete" specifies that the interface configuration for FastEthernet0/0/3.9 is to be deleted.
This configuration does not affect all device configurations or shut down the device but deletes the specified interface configuration.
