摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for validating configuration data in a switch. An error is detected if the configuration data fails to comply with one or more rules; and a user is presented with an interface that allows the user to correct the error. The rules may include one or more syntactic rules or conflict rules (or both). In the case of a simple error, the user is presented with an error indication with a smart error link. In the case of a conflict error, the user is presented with an error indication that identifies the conflicting endpoints and optionally allows the user to correct at least one conflicting endpoint. The configuration data is revalidated after a change is made by a user. Changes are propagated to affected data objects. A number of error types may be automatically updated. When an objects inherit properties through application of a template to the data object, a list is maintained of the data objects associated with each template, so that the associated data objects can be updated if the template is updated. Errors information can be presented to the user in a hierarchical error tree. The user can select errors from the tree to be corrected. The error tree can optionally be redisplayed following a change by validating only affected elements.

摘要翻译： 提供了用于验证交换机中的配置数据的方法和装置。 如果配置数据不符合一个或多个规则，则会检测到错误; 并且向用户呈现允许用户校正错误的接口。 规则可以包括一个或多个句法规则或冲突规则（或两者）。 在出现简单错误的情况下，向用户显示带有智能错误链接的错误指示。 在出现冲突错误的情况下，向用户呈现标识冲突端点的错误指示，并且可选地允许用户校正至少一个冲突端点。 配置数据在用户进行更改后重新生效。 更改会传播到受影响的数据对象。 许多错误类型可能会自动更新。 当对象通过将模板应用于数据对象来继承属性时，将维护与每个模板相关联的数据对象的列表，以便如果更新模板，则可以更新关联的数据对象。 错误信息可以在分层错误树中呈现给用户。 用户可以从树中选择要纠正的错误。 通过仅验证受影响的元素，可以选择在更改后重新显示错误树。
