Middleware and Management Protocol APIs

Management Protocol Description API

Management Server A powerful middleware component, that enables communication with a variety of network elements and allows for communication with elements supporting even proprietary protocol. Management Server API

SNMP Set of java libraries implementing SNMP stack as defined in standards RFC 1155 & RFC 1157 that enable communication with SNMP agents. By default SNMP v1, v2c and v3 stacks are supported. In addition it provides MIBs API and other high level APIs abstracting low-level communication details from user, which make developing network management applications very easy. WebNMS SNMP API

TL1 Set of Java libraries implementing TL1 Stack defined as per the Bellcore GR-831-CORE Standard. It has useful set of APIs that support TL1Message framing , parsing etc. These APIs can be used to build management applications to operate, administer and manage NEs that support TL1 interface. WebNMS TL1 API

CLI Set of Java libraries that enables user to build applications to manage network devices that support command line based interface (CLI) for management. WebNMS CLI API
