Can you go through this example in some more details, e.g. show the data
that the operator set (like the XML I showed)?

[Bart Bogaert] Assume we have the following in the device already:
 <entity>
   <physical-entity>
     <model-name>system-1</model-name>
     <class>ianaent:chassis</class>
   </physical-entity>
 </entity>

And assume the following is sent as pre-configuration:
 <entity>
   <physical-entity>
     <model-name>dsl-brd-type1</model-name>
     <class>ianaent:module</class>
     <parent-rel-pos>2</parent-rel-pos>
     <contained-in>system-1</contained-in>
   </physical-entity>
 </entity>

When at a later stage, a board is plugged in the position corresponding to
parent-rel-pos 2, the system is able to detect whether the model-name
corresponds to dsl-brd-type-1 and accepts the pre-configured values.  In
case a different model name is detected (e.g. eth-brd-type-1) a mismatch
alarm is to be raised indicating that an eth-brd-type-1 has been detected
while a dsl-brd-type-1 was expected as the pre-configuration does not match
with the actual configuration.
