Description
Create a new object and add it to the configuration.
Specify the type of object you want to create and the identifier, if the type has one, unless the
object is identified by an index. Set the properties of the object by writing the propertyname
equals (=) and then the value. An optional category can be specified for some object types when
using tab completion.
If a mandatory property isn't specified a list of errors will be shown after the object is created. If
an invalid property or value type is specified or if the identifier is missing the command will fail
and not create an object.
Adjustments can be made after the object is created by using the set command.
Example 2.1. Create a new object

gw-world:/> add Address IP4Address example_ip Address=1.2.3.4

gw-world:/> add IP4Address example_ip2 Address=2.3.4.5
Add an object with an index:
gw-world:/main> add Route Interface=lan
Add an object without identifier:
