2.1.9. Working with Configurations
Configuration Objects
The system configuration is built up by Configuration Objects, where each object represents a
configurable item of any kind. Examples of configuration objects are routing table entries, address
book entries, service definitions, IP rules and so on. Each configuration object has a number of
properties that constitute the values of the object.
Object Types
A configuration object has a well-defined type. The type defines the properties that are available for
the configuration object, as well as the constraints for those properties. For instance, the IP4Address
type is used for all configuration objects representing a named IPv4 address.
Object Organization
In the Web Interface the configuration objects are organized into a tree-like structure based on the
type of the object.
In the CLI, similar configuration object types are grouped together in a category. These categories
are different from the structure used in the Web Interface to allow quick access to the configuration
objects in the CLI. The IP4Address, IP4Group and EthernetAddress types are, for instance, grouped
in a category named Address, as they all represent different addresses. Consequently, Ethernet and
VLAN objects are all grouped in a category named Interface, as they are all interface objects. The
categories have actually no impact on the system configuration; they are merely provided as means
to simplify administration.
The following examples show how to manipulate objects.
