<br>
As you know PortMapping object's location depends on instances for<br>
WANDevice, WANConnectionDevice and WANIPConnection nodes. So in general<br>
it's:<br>
<br>
InternetGatewayDevice.<wbr>WANDevice.{i}.<wbr>WANConnectionDevice.{i}.<wbr>WANIPConnection.{i}.<wbr>PortMapping<br>
<br>
In practice, it can be as simple as<br>
InternetGatewayDevice.<wbr>WANDevice.1.<wbr>WANConnectionDevice.1.<wbr>WANIPConnection.1.PortMapping,<br>
or with the same success, it can be<br>
InternetGatewayDevice.<wbr>WANDevice.5.<wbr>WANConnectionDevice.1.<wbr>WANIPConnection.3.PortMapping<br>
depending on vendor's implementation. You never know what instances are<br>
used, when do they change (if ever), so you have to query a device.<br>
<br>
To be able to manage this table through API, you have to:<br>
<br>
A) Find actual instances used. For this, I use the following preset<br>
called WANIPConnectionPortMapping:<br>
<br>
let wanIPConnectionPortMapping =<br>
"InternetGatewayDevice.<wbr>WANDevice.1.<wbr>WANConnectionDevice.1.<wbr>WANIPConnection.1.PortMapping"<wbr>;<br>
let portMappings =<br>
declare("<wbr>InternetGatewayDevice.<wbr>WANDevice.*.<wbr>WANConnectionDevice.*.<wbr>WANIPConnection.*.PortMapping"<wbr>,<br>
{path: Date.now()});<br>
if (portMappings.size) {<br>
for (let portMapping of portMappings) {<br>
wanIPConnectionPortMapping = portMapping.path;<br>
break;<br>
} <br>
}<br>
return {writable: false, value: [wanIPConnectionPortMapping, "xsd:string"]};<br>
<br>
As a result, I can read VirtualParameters.<wbr>WANIPConnectionPortMapping,<br>
which contains the actual path (the first one) currently used, and use<br>
it for further API calls.<br>
<br>
B) If it's possible to create a VirtualParameter which contains a<br>
writable table, it will be possible to perform whatever operations is<br>
required directly on this parameter (table) without taking care about<br>
instances used, which will simplify the whole process. Another benefit<br>
would be to use this parameter in summary_parameters.yml to display the<br>
table (as far as I understand it's not possible to use any kind of<br>
wildcards/regexp in summary_parameters.yml).<br>
<br>
So to summarize, my question is regarding second approach (B): Is it<br>
possible to create a writable virtual parameter which contains a table<br>
(not a primitive like xsd:string, xsd:unsignedInt, etc). If yes, a<br>
simple example would be great. If not, we have a workaround as described<br>
in point A, however it's not clear how to describe this table in<br>
summary_parameters.yml. Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
