Mapping all substrings of a certain string to same key

YANG

Hi ,
i have list with key name with string type.

name accepts all strings.
but i need a case where all the subsctrings of ‘default’ to be mapped tio the same entry "default’
is this done though the mapping code ?

e.g
“d”
“def”
“defaul”
“de”

they all if given through CLI or NETCONF should map to the entry with key “default”

That (i.e. alias-expansion) would be a bad idea for a machine-to-machine NETCONF client-server setup. But if a NETCONF client (e.g. NSO) exposes a CLI to its users an alias may be defined for it and the alias-expansion may then happen there. Not at the NETCONF server.

Using alias-expansion with the ConfD CLI:

(config)# show full-configuration alias              
alias d
 expansion default
!
alias de
 expansion default
!
alias def
 expansion default
!
alias defaul
 expansion default
!
(config)# show full-configuration alias | display xml
<config xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/config/1.0">
  <alias xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/1.1">
    <name>d</name>
    <expansion>default</expansion>
  </alias>
  <alias xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/1.1">
    <name>de</name>
    <expansion>default</expansion>
  </alias>
  <alias xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/1.1">
    <name>def</name>
    <expansion>default</expansion>
  </alias>
  <alias xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/aaa/1.1">
    <name>defaul</name>
    <expansion>default</expansion>
  </alias>
</config>

See ConfD UG “Configure mode commands” under “alias” for more CLI details.
