Synopsis
--------
- Netconf is a network management protocol developed and standardized by the IETF. It is documented in RFC 6241.
- This module allows the user to send a configuration XML file to a netconf device, and detects if there was a configuration change.
Requirements
------------
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- ncclient

<div>This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current <code>running-config</code> from the remote device before any changes are made. If the <code>backup_options</code> value is not given, the backup file is written to the <code>backup</code> folder in the playbook root directory or role root directory, if playbook is part of an ansible role.

Notes
-----
.. note::
- This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
- This module supports devices with and without the candidate and confirmed-commit capabilities. It will always use the safer feature.
- This module supports the use of connection=netconf
- This module is supported on ``ansible_network_os`` network platforms. See the :ref:`Network Platform Options <platform_options>` for details.
