A configuration is a collection of settings representing a specific network
implementation. In the Address Manager object structure, the configuration is the parent
IPAM object, encompassing all other objects in the network.
You can create multiple configurations to maintain different networks and to perform
testing in an isolated environment without interfering with production servers.
