Provision Portal Replace CPE

This module is not available in the current version. It will be available in a future version. Use this page for reference only.

Replace CPE defines model rules. A model rule maps identifiers from a source device to a target device. CPE means customer-premises equipment. Each model rule contains mappings for params, objects (and object params), and services.

Where to find parameter descriptions: Each model field has a hint about the supported wildcards. Other fields show labels only.

When to use it

Use Replace CPE when you need to:

  • add or change model rules in replaceCPE.xml,

  • review the mappings before you save the full snapshot,

  • import or export replaceCPE.xml with dry-run previews.

Before you start

Check your role:

  • VIEWER can browse and export.

  • EDITOR and ADMIN can also edit, import, and save.

A VIEWER account works in read-only mode. The save and import actions are disabled.

Model rules

A rule matches a model with four fields:

  • From OUI (organizationally unique identifier)

  • From product class

  • To OUI

  • To product class

An empty match value is allowed and works as a wildcard. A mapping row needs a value in all From and To fields.

Add or change a rule

  1. Click New model rule, or select an existing rule.

  2. Fill the match fields. An empty value works as a wildcard.

  3. Add mappings in the Params, Objects, or Services tab.

  4. Click Save changes.

Expected result: Save changes replaces the full snapshot.

Validation rules

  • A mapping row needs non-empty From and To values.

  • Duplicate keys are not allowed. Keys are case-sensitive.

  • You cannot save until you fill the required fields and remove the duplicates.

Import replaceCPE.xml

A dry-run is required before the import.

  1. Click Import.

  2. Upload the replaceCPE.xml file.

  3. Wait for the dry-run analysis.

  4. Review the structured diff list and the details panel.

  5. If the dry-run shows warnings, select Apply despite warnings.

  6. Click Apply import.

The diff uses keys, so the order of the entries does not change the result.

Export replaceCPE.xml

  1. Click Export.

Expected result: The portal downloads the current snapshot.

Safety notes

  • Save changes replaces the entire snapshot.

  • Dry-run errors block the apply action.
