When an AOS-CX switch uses a temporary copy of the Configuration State database, what kind of analysis does NetEdit perform to ensure that the configuration is correct?
When an AOS-CX switch uses a temporary copy of the Configuration State database, what kind of analysis does NetEdit perform to ensure that the configuration is correct?
NetEdit performs semantic validation to ensure the configuration is correct. Semantic validation involves analyzing the configuration in the context of the device's current state. This process checks for configuration consistency, ensuring that the settings are logical and coherent within the device's operational parameters. This is done using a temporary copy of the Configuration State database (CSDB) to perform the analysis before deploying the changes.
Sorry, I have to correct my answer. According to Study Guide Page 62, it is the "Semantic validation", i.e. B. "The device uses a temporary copy of is Current State DB (CSDB) to perform the analysis"
B seems right: "NetEdit analyzes the configuration in the context of the device’s state using the existing configuration validation process in the switch and creates a temporary copy in the Current State DB (CSDB) to perform the analysis"
Page 89 Study Guide: There are several advantages to offloading the process of validation at the device level. As shown in the figure, NetEdit analyzes the configuration in the context of the device’s state using the existing configuration validation process in the switch and creates a temporary copy in the Current State DB (CSDB) to perform the analysis. NetEdit uses the REST interface to send the configuration to the device and to receive the result in JSON format. [Aruba Networks]
Validation processes + Syntax validation – When: while typing – What: command syntax including in-line help + Semantics validation – When: VALIDATE button (in multi-editor) or before DEPLOY – What: configuration consistency + Conformance validation – When: while editing – What: compliance with conformance rules: corporate policies, minimum connectivity requirements, etc. + Change validation – When: during DEPLOY (before and after configuration deployment) – What: compares device state before and after changes are applied (using show commands) Answer D: before and after configuration deployment
the question is how to ensure that the configuration is correct, not to check the device state after changes, so should be B?
Correct Answer: D
Answer B. Semantic validation -When: VALIDATE button (in multi-editor) or before DEPLOY – What: configuration consistency
Semantic validation
From learning book ACSP NetEdit : "Device-Level Validation (Semantic Validation) : There are several advantages to offloading the process of validating at the device level. NetEdit analyzes the configuration in the context of the device's state using the existing configuration validation process in the switch and creates a TEMPORARY copy in the Current State DB (CSDB) to perform the analysis." Correct answer is A.
