Replacing Configuration Elements - Juniper JUNOS OS 10.3 - XML MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL GUIDE 6-30-2010 Manual

Replacing Configuration Elements

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
To replace individual configuration elements (hierarchy levels or configuration objects),
a client application emits the
attribute in an tag element:
<rpc>
<rpc>
<!-- For a file -->
<load-configuration action="replace" url="file" [format="text"]/>
<!-- For a data stream -->
<load-configuration action="replace" [format="text"]>
<!-- configuration data -->
</load-configuration>
</rpc>
For more information about the
Data in a File" on page 105.
To use Junos XML tag elements to represent the replacement, the application includes
the basic tag elements described in "Creating, Modifying, or Deleting Configuration
Elements" on page 109. Within the container tag, it includes the same child tag elements
as for a new element: each of the replacement's identifier tag elements (if it has them)
and all child tag elements being defined for the replacement element. In the following,
the identifier tag element is called
"replace" attribute in the opening container tag:
<configuration>
<!-- opening tag for each parent of the element -->
<container-tag replace="replace">
<name>identifier</name>
<!-- tag elements for other children, if any -->
</container-tag>
<!-- closing tag for each parent of the element -->
</configuration>
To use formatted ASCII text to represent the element, the application includes the
complete statement path described in "Creating, Modifying, or Deleting Configuration
Elements" on page 109. As for a new element, it includes each of the replacement's
identifiers (if it has them) and all child statements (with values if appropriate) that it is
defining for the replacement. It places the
container statement.
<configuration-text>
/* statements for parent levels of the element */
replace:
element identifier {
/* child statements if any */
}
/* closing braces for parent levels for the element */
</configuration-text>
The following example shows how to grant new permissions for the object named
at the
[edit system login class]
XML-tagged format (the default).
