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.
