Using Configuration Pages
Most protocols are configured by creating or adding an entry - an IP route, a
PIM interface, and so on. For such protocols, configuration with the GUI is
based on sets of three pages: first you see a “summary” page, and from that
you access an “add” page and a “modify” page. Complex protocols are sub-
divided into different tabs, each with their own summary, add and modify
pages.
