It seems that show configuration json in operational mode and show | json in configuration mode do not represent multi-value configuration nodes in the same way. For example, given the config:
interfaces {
ethernet eth0 {
address dhcp
address dhcpv6
}
ethernet eth1 {
address dhcp
}
}show configuration json (op mode) returns:
{
"interfaces": {
"ethernet": {
"eth0": {
"address": [
"dhcp",
"dhcpv6"
]
},
"eth1": {
"address": [
"dhcp"
]
}
}
}
}while show | json (config mode) returns:
{
"interfaces": {
"ethernet": {
"eth0": {
"address": [
"dhcp",
"dhcpv6"
]
},
"eth1": {
"address": "dhcp"
}
}
}
}The config mode is representing single values as just a string instead of a 1-element array. It seems to me that operational mode's output is more consistent (always an array).
Is this difference in behavior expected? Is it possible to fix without breaking compatibility?
