Setting the REST API access mode to read-write

Enabling the read-write mode on the REST API allows write operations (POST, PUT, and DELETE) to be called on all configurable elements in the switch database.

The REST API in read-write mode is intended for use by advanced users who have a good understanding of the system schema and data relationships in the switch database.

CAUTION:

The REST API in read-write mode can access every configurable element in the database. The REST API is powerful, but must be used with extreme caution: For most values, no semantic validation is performed on the data that you write to the database, and configuration errors can destabilize the switch.
