Q.
What are base management features?
A.
Base management features comprise a set of features that are device independent. That is,
they do not require a device package in order to function. Some examples include device
discovery, basic inventory, and so on.
Q.
What is a device support package?
A.
Cisco EDI requires a device support package for specific device and OS combinations in
order to provide full device support (all three main feature categories). A device package is a
data file that contains the “learned” CLI for a given device as well as the XML schemas
(XSDs) for the XML PI.
Q.
Is the XML PI based on existing standards or is it Cisco proprietary?
A.
The XML PI is standards-based, and it is in compliance with the IETF NETCONF draft
specification (operations).
Q.
What is supported over the XML PI?
A.
Because Cisco EDI is capable of “learning” a device’s CLI, the XML PI provides
comprehensive device-configuration support.
Q.
What equipment does Cisco EDI support?
A.
The supported equipment and OS release (for example, Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2) is
enhanced on a regular basis. However, at the time that Cisco EDI 2.2 is released, the devices
and operating systems listed in Table 2 are supported.
