2.4 MTOSI Object Naming and Configuration
MTOSI Object Name (Reference - MTOSI Document SD2-7) is the management identifier of an MTOSI Object.
It is used to represent MTOSI Object references in the MTOSI request and response messages. It consists of
two parts, DN and RDN, explained in the table below:

In Cisco EPN Manager, the RDN value mostly derived from the name of the inventory object that the
particular RDN represents (for example, ME RDN, the value is name of the Device) and in some cases where
the name alone cannot distinguish the object within its relative scope, a combination of the inventory object
attributes will be used.
The following are some examples for the Object Names.

Note: It is assumed that the Network that Cisco EPN Manager will have unique names for all the Devices in
the network and the Network operator would ensure the uniqueness of the Device names. If two or more
devices have the same name, the MTOSI API will not produce consistent results when using the Object Name
as input to any of the MTOSI APIs.

devices have the same name, the MTOSI API will not produce consistent results when using the Object Name
as input to any of the MTOSI APIs.
In case of the Networks which cannot have unique names for the devices, Cisco EPN Manager can be
configured to handle the Object Names using the ID based references, but this requires an internal
configuration change for Cisco EPN Manager which is not directly supported.

A naming component of the DN. Each MTOSI RDN represents the local
name of an MTOSI object instance understood in the context of the MTOSI
objects hierarchy structure.
The MTOSI RDN is composed of two data:
1. The MTOSI object type identifier.
2. The name of MTOSI object instance.
