Sample XPath Notifications Received on Devices for a Modified E-LAN Service

While developing configlets, XPaths and Regular Expressions would be used intensively. It would be desirable to let the user define frequently used XPaths and Regular expressions in such a way that they can be referred when required. User can define these templates from the Xpath and Regex task group in the CLI Configlets workspace of the Junos Space Platform GUI. For an E-LAN service that is modified using the Connectivity Services Director application, the XPath attributes corresponding to the modified configuration settings and parameters are sent to the associated devices of the service for the revised configuration elements to be applied on the devices. This topic illustrates the differential configuration, which is the delta or the change-set of the configuration that you are about to deploy on the devices, and the XPath attributes associated with the delta configuration for a modified E-LAN service:

The following is the changed XPath attribute for a routing instance of a modified E-LAN service:

The following is the differential configuration set for the XPath attribute for a routing instance of a modified E-LAN service:

For the policy- statement statement at the [edit policy-options] hierarchy level, the correct XPath Notification is not received if changes happen only to the policy-statement. The notification does not contain the changed XPath and configuration difference. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the instance of service impacted due to the change (when only localized to policy-options->policy-statement). Full service recovery is recommended in such cases.

The following is the changed XPath attribute for physical interfaces:

The following is the configuration difference for the XPath attribute of physical interfaces:

The following is the changed XPath attribute for the logical unit of an interface:

The following is the configuration difference for the XPath attribute of logical unit of an interface:

The following are the changed XPath attributes for a firewall filter at the [edit firewall family vpls] hierarchy level:

The following is the configuration difference for the XPath attribute of a firewall filter in an E-LAN family:

The following are the changed XPath attributes for the policer statement at the [edit firewall] hierarchy level:

The following is the configuration difference for the XPath attribute of a firewall policer:

The service instance cannot be determined if the changes to policer occur and in such cases ,you need to determine the type of service and also identify whether the change is to existing service or a new service. You can select a service instance and the operation type (such as create or modify) to recover service for that endpoint. Using changed XPath and applying the differential configuration to the changed XPath, you can determine the type of change and the name of the changed configuration parameter.
