Specifying sibling values as dependencies

Use the Configuration Editor to specify sibling values as dependencies.

Before you begin

You can use the equals icon to indicate that the value of the current command must be found in a configuration in order for your other modifications on the command's siblings to happen.

Note: It is best to mark the “replace” action prior to marking the “match” condition.

About this task

To specify sibling values as dependencies, follow these steps.

Procedure

  1. Select and open the command for which you want to specify sibling values as dependencies.
  2. While in Replace view (switch if necessary by using the Match/Replace icon), mark the commands that you want to be added, modified, or deleted.
  3. Switch to Match view and select the command that must exist and click the equals icon.

    The equals symbol is displayed next to the command, and if applicable, next to the argument field as well.

  4. If the command has an argument field, enter the desired value.

What to do next

When the Configuration Editor applies the command set, the changes you marked in Replace view will happen only if the value you specified as a match is found in the baseline configuration.
