How do I configure device objects?

Configuring model-driven NE parameters

Use this procedure to configure parameters on a model-driven NE.

Note: The Refresh png7.png icon fetches the latest values from the NE. The schema views do not automatically refresh.

Note: Mandatory fields have an asterisk (*) next to the attribute name.

Config basket

The config basket lets you create a list of configuration changes and submit multiple changes at the same time.

The config basket displays the list of changes, with links to the schema where the changes will be made. You can validate, cancel, or submit the changes, or click the link to return to the schema and edit the change. From the config basket, click CONTINUE EDITING to return to the schema.

The following restrictions apply.

  • The config basket can only be used for one NE at a time. Changes cannot be pushed from the config basket to multiple NEs.

  • If two YANG models are supported by the same adaptor, changes to both can be submitted at the same time.

  • The config basket contents are only populated for the duration of the session; they cannot be saved for later use.
