In your example, there is nothing configured as far as I can tell. The way the interfaces data model supports pre-configuration is by having a _name binding_; a pre-configured interface is applied once the name of the pre-configured interfaces matches the name of a (physical) interface. I think Martin is asking the question whether the same model of using name bindings can be applied in your case and if not why not. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1 | 28759 Bremen | Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ netmod mailing list netmod@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/netmod
