To avoid clients' explicit copy/paste of referenced system-defined configuration into the target configuration datastore (e.g., \textless{}running\textgreater{}), a "resolve-system" parameter has been defined to allow the server acting as a "system client" to copy referenced system-defined nodes automatically. The solution enables clients manipulating the target configuration datastore (e.g., \textless{}running\textgreater{}) to overlay and reference nodes defined in \textless{}system\textgreater{}, override values of configurations defined in \textless{}system\textgreater{}, and configure descendant nodes of system-defined nodes.}, }
