currently supported are shown in the following table, along with the
Configuration Unit
they are derived from, and a

objecttable1
objecttable2
objecttable3
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.
Device properties, Interfaces, Hardware, Arp entries, CAM entries.
