Rapid Development
The ConfD Web Interface enables very rapid development of modern, dynamic, and graphical network management applications. Developers use XML syntax to describe the configuration data model.  Configuration data are specified and subsequently linked into a single data model schema. From this configuration specification, the ConfD engine automatically renders a Web Interface, eliminating the need for time consuming coding and testing.

Maximum Design Flexibility
Developers can customize the interface to meet their specific preferences. The resulting web interface fully leverages AJAX web development technology.  This powerful asynchronous technology is ideal for creating interactive applications.  Developers can use AJAX to update information without having to refresh each web page.  As a result, on-screen graphs and charts change instantly. Additionally, changes made by any user via the CLI are immediately visible within the web interface.

Carrier-grade Functionality
ConfD was built from the ground up to meet the performance, scalability, and functionality requirements of carrier-grade network management applications. The Web UI and all other ConfD modules support a powerful AAA framework to meet market demands for security and logging.   Like the CLI, the Web Interface includes powerful features to ensure consistent and accurate configuration changes. All changes to the device's configuration are done to a copy of the active configuration (candidate configuration). These changes do not take effect until a successful commit or confirmed commit function is executed. A rollback command allows developers to reinstate a past configuration (the system allows a flexible number of configurations to be saved).
