This section describes a procedure to convert classic CLI configuration snippets into MD-CLI configuration snippets on an SR OS node initially operating in classic configuration mode. The MD-CLI configuration snippets can be ported to another node operating in model-driven configuration mode or saved to a file for later use. For these snippet conversions, mixed configuration mode must be enabled.
When operating in mixed or model-driven interface configuration mode, the SR OS router automatically converts the running configuration to the MD-CLI format in memory. For a node operating in classic or mixed interface configuration mode, any additional configuration entered in the classic CLI can easily be converted to the MD-CLI format. Converting the classic CLI configuration avoids the need to manually recreate the configuration in the MD-CLI and ensures all applicable configuration elements are properly converted to the MD-CLI format by the system. Any Nokia SR OS router, including a virtual simulator, Virtualized Service Router (VSR), or lab router, can be used to convert configurations.
See the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR System Management Guide, section "Management Interface Configuration Mode" for more information about the management interface configuration mode.
The following example converts a configuration snippet which changes the system name.
