Figure 7. Configuration concept overview
The various elements of a complete SmartNode configuration are shown in figure 7. Each of these elements
implements one of the configuration concepts described in this chapter. The figure also shows the relationships
and associations between the different elements. The relations are specified through bind (arrow) and use (bul-
let-lines) commands. For example, you need bind commands to bind a physical port to a logical interface, and
use commands to assign profiles to contexts.
The chapter sections that follow refer to figure 7 on page 31 and describe the concepts and elements in
more detail
