About SRC Configuration Files in XML Format

The XML structure follows the same hierarchy as the CLI. For example, in configuration mode the following statements are available at the [edit system] hierarchy level:

[edit system]
user@host# set ?
Possible completions:
+ authentication-order Order in which authentication methods are invoked
+ domain-search        List of domain names to search
  host-name            Hostname for C-series Controller
> ldap                 LDAP properties
> login                Login properties
+ name-server          DNS name servers
> ntp                  Configure NTP
> radius-server        RADIUS server configuration
> services             System services configuration
> syslog               System log configuration
> tacplus-server       TACACS+ server configuration
  time-zone            Time zone definition name

In an XML file, the tags within the <system> tags are the same as the statements in the [edit system] hierarchy. The tags under <system> can appear in any order.



<configuration>
<system>
<authentication-order> </authentication-order>
<domain-search> </domain-search>
<host-name> </host-name>
<ldap> </ldap>
<login> </login>
<name-server> </name-server>
<ntp> </ntp>
<radius-server> </radius-server>
<services> </services>
<syslog> </syslog>
<tacplus-server> </tacplus-server>
<time-zone> </time-zone>
</system>
</configuration>

The following example shows parts of a configuration file for statements in the [edit system] hierarchy:



<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system>
<time-zone>Canada/Eastern</time-zone>
<services>
<telnet/>
<ssh>

Example: Using Attributes When Editing an XML Configuration File

You can modify a single value by inserting an attribute into one tag. For example, to delete the name server that has the IP address 192.2.2.20:



<configuration>
<system>
<name-server operation=” delete” >192.2.2.20</name-server>
</system>
</configuration>

You can also modify a number of values within a hierarchy by adding an attribute at a higher level in the hierarchy. For example, to replace permissions for the class named class-cfg in the following configuration:



<configuration>
<system>
<class>
<name>class-cfg</name>
<allow-configuration>s.*m$|s.*m l.*n</allow-configuration>
<permissions>configure</permissions>
<permissions>interface</permissions>
</class>
</system>
</configuration>

Enter the replace attribute for the class:



<configuration>
<system>
<login>
<class operation=” replace” >
<name>class-cfg</name>
<allow-configuration>s.*m$|s.*m l.*n</allow-configuration>
<permissions>control</permissions>
<permissions>maintenance</permissions>
</class>
</login>
</system>
</configuration>
