Changing a Configuration Element’s Activation State Simultaneously with Other Changes

A client application can deactivate or reactivate an element at the same time it performs other operations on it (except deletion), by combining the appropriate attributes or operators with the inactive or active attribute or operator. For basic information about activating or deactivating an element, see Changing a Configuration Element’s Activation State.

To define the element to deactivate or activate, a client application includes the basic tag elements or configuration statements for its parent levels, as described in Creating, Modifying, or Deleting Configuration Elements. When using JUNOS XML tag elements to represent the element, the application includes the inactive="inactive" or active="active" attribute along with the appropriate other attribute in the <load-configuration/> tag or opening <load-configuration> tag. When using formatted ASCII text, the application combines the inactive or active operator with the other operator.
