RE: Multiple "Running" configurations

[William Caban <william@hpcf.upr.edu>]

If I'm not wrong vendors will be able to define custom "objects" for the
protocol so if a vendor want to support a different granular access to
the running configuration what would be stopping him from defining an
XML like this to copy the running config from node 0 (however is
defined) to the startup config of node 5.

       <copy-config>
         <source>
           <running>
              <node node-id="0" />
           </running>
         </source>
         <target>
           <startup>
              <node node-id="5" />
           </startup>
         </target>
         <format>text</format>
       </copy-config>

or by name:

       <copy-config>
         <source>
           <running>
              <node name="switch0" />
           </running>
         </source>
         <target>
           <startup>
              <node name="switch5" />
           </startup>
         </target>
         <format>text</format>
       </copy-config>



Disclaimer: I don't speak fluent XML yet. Examples for demo of the
concept.
