def query(self, data, silentMode=False):

        Description
           Query for objects using filters.

        Paramater
           silentMode: (bool): True: Don't display any output on stdout.

        Notes
            Assuming this is a BGP configuration, which has two Topologies.
            Below demonstrates how to query the BGP host object by
            drilling down the Topology by its name and the specific the BGP attributes to modify at the
            BGPIpv4Peer node: flap, downtimeInSec, uptimeInSec.
            The from '/' is the entry point to the API tree.
            Notice all the node. This represents the API tree from the / entry point and starting at
            Topology level to the BGP host level.

        Notes
           Use the API Browser tool on the IxNetwork GUI to view the API tree.
