EPIC provides software developers with common protocol interfaces to create custom applications. EPIC can be extended with command-line options and XML.
EPIC CLI is a ready-to-use, extendable, command-line interface toolkit which provides command-line access to configure network devices.
EPIC XML is also included with EMANATE ONE.
EPIC™ XML is an EPIC component that allows XML access to management information that historically has been accessible only using SNMP. EPIC XML leverages the versatility and utility of EMANATE® and EMANATE®/Lite agents by adding another access method, XML over TCP or SSL, in addition to SNMP. XML-based requests for management information are secured using the same view-based access control technology that secures SNMPv3.
Some of the features in EPIC XML include:
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become a hot topic in the computing industry. XML is used in diverse applications: defining schemas for how information is stored and presented, protocols for exchanging data between applications and systems from different vendors, etc. SNMP Research has been researching how this markup language can be applied to standards-based network management.
SNMP Research has developed an XML mapping of the SNMP protocol that conforms to industry standards so the data can be easily repurposed in other XML-friendly applications. Using XML to describe SNMP information allows this data to be sent over SSL or TCP as an alternate communication protocol.
EPIC XML listens for incoming TCP network connections. When an XML-formatted request for management information is received, EPIC XML sends the request to the EMANATE Master Agent, which then replies with the requested data. EPIC XML then returns the requested management information, formatted with XML tags, on the TCP connection to the originating requestor.
SNMP Research has agent-side products that allow agents to accept requests and respond using XML. The optional EPIC XML component can be added to EMANATE or EMANATE/Lite based agents to provide this capability.
SNMP Research has manager-side products that:
Certain versions of SNMP Research's BRASS™ Server can communicate with XML-enabled agents (Bullet 1 above).
Applications can communicate XML certain versions of SNMP Research's BRASS™ Server. In particular, the BRASS Server included with the Java™-based Management Application Development Kit can communicate with applications using XML.
