Cisco Configuration Engine Software Development Kit API Reference and Programmer Guide

About This Guide
Objective
The Cisco Configuration Engine Software Development Kit is a foundation technology for linking users 
to network services. Cisco Configuration Engine SDK accomplishes this by making applications 
network-aware and increasing the intelligence of the network elements. 
The objective of Cisco Configuration Engine Software Development Kit API Reference and 
Programmer Guide 
is to show how to use the components included in the Cisco Configuration Engine 
SDK to write provisioning applications and access the Cisco Configuration Engine through the provided 
APIs. Cisco Configuration Engine SDK includes APIs to allow:
  •
A node on the Configuration Engine Event bus to communicate with agent-enabled network devices, 
the Configuration Engine Event Gateway, and the Intelligent Modular Gateway (IMGW) via the 
Configuration Engine Event API. This allows you to write an application to configure one or more 
network devices.
  •
Access via a Java class to provision the IMGW Device Information Database that stores the Telnet 
user names, passwords, IP addresses of the devices and, additionally, enables adding, modifying and 
deleting devices from the data base.
This programmer guide provides general information about how the APIs and their functions can be used 
in your client application. Specific API details are in the API Reference chapters.
Who Should Use This Book
This guide is intended primarily for system integrators and application developers who need to develop 
applications that interact with the Configuration Engine and Configuration Engine Agents in network 
devices.
It is assumed you have a basic understanding of network design, operation, and terminology, as well as 
familiarity with your own network configurations.
