I think this is the only correct solution available today. I.e.,
describe the behavior in description text, and/or add an extension
that makes this formal and machnie readable for your tools:
leaf-list supported-compression-algorithm {
config false;
type eri:compression-algorithm;
description
"Lists the compression algorithms supported by this device.";
}
leaf compression-algorithm {
config true;
type eri:compression-algorithm;
description
"Must be one of the values listed in
supported-compression-algorithm.";
eri:restrict-to "../supported-compression-algorithm";
}
But I assume that the list of supported-compression-algorithm can
change with a software upgrade, and if so, how do you handle the case
that the config contains a value that is removed in a software
upgrade?
