Object Types
The
Object types
currently supported
are shown in the following table, along with the
Configuration
Unit
they are derived from, and a
description
of the Object
.
Details of each Object Type, and its Attributes is provided in the following
sections.



The different Object types have hierarchical relationships, which are
also described in the Metadata. For example, a Network contains Devices,
which in turn contains Interfaces, each of which, in turn, may have one
ore more Interface IP Addresses associated with it. A pictorial relationship
of the Object types is depicted in the UML drawings below.
In the Model UML diagrams, boxes represent
Object
classes
, and lines represent
relationships
between classes
. The existence of a line extending between two
boxes on the diagram (usually) implies there will be one or more relationships
(referred to as Navigations) defined between the two Object classes. As
an example, there is a Navigation from Device to AccessList, and from
AccessList to AclExtendedRule or AclGroupedRule.
