Chapter 3: Getting Started
This chapter provides the basic workflow for getting started with a new deployment.
Basic steps:

Tips:
- Configuration changes are applied to the running configuration as soon as you save them.
- Configuration objects are saved in a configuration management database. You cannot change the name of a configuration object after you have initially saved it.
- You cannot delete a configuration object that is referenced in another configuration object (for example, you cannot delete an address if it is used in a policy).
