To delete from a configuration object either a fixed-form option or an option that takes just one value, a client application includes the operation="delete" attribute in the tag element for the option. In the following, the identifier tag element for the object is called <name>. (For information about deleting an option that can take multiple values, see Deleting Values from a Multivalue Option of a Configuration Object.)
<configuration>
<!- - opening tags for each parent of the object - ->
<object>
<name>identifier</name>
<option1 operation="delete">
<option2 operation="delete">
<!- - tag elements for other options to delete - ->
</object>
<!- - closing tags for each parent of the object - ->
</configuration>
We recommend that the application set the default mode to no-change by including the <default-operation> tag element with the value none, as described in Deleting Configuration Elements. For more information about options, see Mapping for Single-Value and Fixed-Form Leaf Statements.
The following example shows how to remove the fixed-form stand-alone option at the [edit system ldap server] hierarchy level:
