Purpose

This guide introduces you to the use of the Attributed Model (AM). It is termed the Attributed Model because a Device is represented as a collection of Objects, each with certain Attributes that describe the current state of the Object. For example, a Device will have a ManagementIp address, and a collection of Interface objects, each of which contains an InterfaceName. Each Interface object may contain one or more InterfaceIpAddress objects, which have IpAddress as one of their attributes.
