9.7 Configuration function set
9.7.1 Overview
The Configuration function set implements centralized read/write access to the device’s operational configuration. This resource may be queried to provide current device configuration, perform configuration backup, etc. This resource is modified as needed to control the operation of the device.
This resource adheres to the recommendations outlined in IETF RFC 3535 [B5]. Specifically, configuration is best separated from operational state and performance statistics to ease configuration retrieval, conformance check, and placement/modification to the device. In other words, it is easier to manage device configuration via a single resource than having to collect, collate, and update configuration parameters from multiple resources spread across an IEEE 2030.5 implementation.
9.7.2 List ordering
This resource does not contain any lists, so no ordering is specified.
9.7.3 Application guidelines/behavior
It is strongly RECOMMENDED that devices persist configuration data across a power cycle.
9.7.4 LogEvents
