2.1.5. Working with Configurations
Configuration Objects
The system configuration is built up by Configuration Objects, where each object represents a con-
figurable item of any kind. Examples of configuration objects are routing table entries, address book
entries, service definitions, IP rules and so forth. Each configuration object has a number of proper-
ties that constitute the values of the object.
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.
In the web user 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 user interface to allow quick access to the configura-
tion 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, Ether-
net and VLAN objects are all grouped in a category named Interface, as they are all interface ob-
jects. The categories have actually no impact on the system configuration; they are merely provided
as means to simplify administration.
Listing Configuration Objects
To find out what configuration objects exist, you can retrieve a listing of the objects.
