Loose references to IDs

A loose reference does not require the target of the reference to exist in the configuration. For example, when the management interface configuration mode is classic, the configure service pw-template 23 egress filter ip 37 can be configured even if ip-filter 37 does not exist in the configuration.

Before switching from the classic mode to model-driven or mixed, all loose references using IDs must be replaced with references using string names or removed from the configuration for the following elements:

all services (configure service vprn, vpls, epipe, and so on)
configure mirror mirror-dest
configure service pw-templates
configure service customer
configure filter ip-filter, ipv6-filter, and mac-filter
configure qos network, sap-ingress, and sap-egress
configure eth-cfm domain and association

Note: A name can only be assigned to a filter or any element in the preceding list of elements which use IDs as keys in classic interfaces but string names in model-driven interfaces. It is recommended to assign names to the elements before an upgrade to Release 15.1.R1.

A name can also be changed in releases before Release 15.1.R1. Elements without names are automatically assigned a name (the ID converted to a string) during an upgrade to Release 15.1.R1 or later, and cannot be changed without manually deleting and recreating the element.

Loose references to IDs for the objects in the preceding list cannot be created while in mixed or model-driven configuration mode. Any classic CLI scripts must also be updated to avoid the use of any of the following commands.

In the following configuration example:

configure service pw-template 23 egress filter ip 37

The configuration can be changed to:

configure service pw-template 23 egress filter-name ip ops-sec-filter-a33

Because ip-filter 37 is a loose reference, it does not require a name for the configuration to be valid. However, it may be desirable to assign a name as follows, to make the binding operational.

configure filter ip-filter 37 name ops-sec-filter-a33

The following lists the set of affected loose references. Some items take a service name as an input. SR OS converts these service names to IDs, and stores the IDs in the configuration. In these cases, the service-name becomes an alias at configuration edit time and is not stored as a reference.
