I send request to confd basic7.6 as follows:

```auto
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rpc message-id="54" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <get>
    <filter type="subtree">
    <components xmlns="http://openconfig.net/yang/platform" xmlns:oc-platform="http://openconfig.net/yang/platform">
      <component>
        <state>
          <type>PORT</type>
        </state>
        <port></port>
      </component>
    </components>
    </filter>
  </get>
</rpc>

```

I recieve respone as follows：

```auto

                </port>
            </component>
        </components>
    </data>
</rpc-reply>

```

But I think /components/component/name and /components/component/config are also expected as follows:

```auto

<rpc-reply message-id="54" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

                    <name>N8K-X9732C-TEST</name>
                </config>
                <state>

                                </config>
                                <state>
                                    <index>1</index>

                            </group>
                        </groups>
                    </breakout-mode>
                </port>
            </component>
        </components>
    </data>
</rpc-reply>

```

Is my thinking correct?

I believe you are missing a `<name/>` “selection node” for the first key, and then you can just use a `<config/>` selection node for the config container since it just contains a single leaf.

```xml
...
<component>
  <name/>
  <config/>
  <state>
...

```

See [RFC 6241 - Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6241#section-6.2.4) section 6.2.4 “Selection Nodes”
