Configuration Properties

This category of questions enables you to retrieve and process the contents of device configurations in a vendor-agnostic manner (except where the question itself is vendor-specific). Batfish organizes configuration content into several sub-categories.

Node Properties

Returns configuration settings of nodes.

Lists global settings of devices in the network. Settings that are specific to interfaces, routing protocols, etc. are available via other questions.
