An administrator is configuring NETCONF using the following XML string. What must the administrator end the request with?

A NETCONF request, encapsulated within an `<rpc>` element, must be terminated with the `]]>]]>` character sequence after the closing `</rpc>` tag to signify the end of the message over a character-based transport like SSH.

`</rpc-reply>` is used to close a NETCONF *response* message sent by the server, not a *request* initiated by the client.

While `</rpc>` closes the RPC element, it lacks the necessary `]]>]]>` end-of-message delimiter for proper NETCONF message framing.

This is an opening `<rpc>` tag, indicating the start of a request or operation, not the termination of an existing request.
