Verifying a DME Configuration

The following table contains the distinguished name (DN) for each managed object (MO) in the DME payload. Issue a GET request using the DN to verify the configuration was posted or to get information about the configured properties of a particular object.

MO	DN
ipv4Inst	sys/ipv4/inst
ipv4IPLoadSharing	sys/ipv4/inst/iploadsharing
