Hi,
I'd appreciate clarification of how the NETCONF edit-config command should
work with default-operation set to 'replace'. For the most part, the
edit-config section is clear that config will only be replaced if explicitly
overwritten (ie if you provide replacement config for given nodes). However,
the section on default-operation is less clear:
The <default-operation> parameter is optional, but if provided,
it has one of the following values:
merge: The configuration data in the <config> parameter is
merged with the configuration at the corresponding level in
the target datastore. This is the default behavior.
replace: The configuration data in the <config> parameter
completely replaces the configuration in the target
datastore. This is useful for loading previously saved
configuration data.
Specifically, while 'merge' states that merge happesn with 'configuration as
the corresponding level', 'replace' states that is 'completely replaces' the
configuration, suggesting that it will remove ALL existing configuration
regardless of what is explicitly provided as the replacement. Is that correct,
or is 'replace' meant to have equivalent semantics to 'merge' ie it will only
replace configuration when an explicit replacement is provided. In other
words, if the latter case is correct, all it does is remove the requirement to
specify the operation in each element of new config.
Thanks,
William
