Management Interface Modules
Management Interface Modules
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and AgentX – ZebOS offers SNMP API calls and Command Line Interface APIs that allow developers the flexibility to customize interfaces and full integration into any management plane. SNMP is made operational with ZebOS using either the SMUX (default) or AgentX protocols.
Basic Access – Offers a series of interfaces that enable equipment vendors to easily and rapidly integrate access software into their products, and pass on the ease of manageability to their end-users. Allows the end-user to easily configure and manage network services featured in the Linux operating system, such as DNS, DHCP, NAT, ACL, and PPPoE.
Integrated Management Interface (IMI) – IMI offers complete, unified management of the ZebOS Network Services Module (NSM) and the individual ZebOS Network Platform. Allows a system administrator to configure and monitor all of the ZebOS daemons through one centralized user connection. As a stand-alone management daemon, the IMI maintains a persistent connection to routing daemons, stores configuration data, and offers extensive monitoring and logging capabilities. IMI also provides a feature-rich, hierarchical command line interface (CLI).
IMI Shell (IMISH) – IMISH is a client application that connects to the IMI, and enables SSH or Telnet management to support role-based management, thereby leveraging the secure authentication method of the operating system to manage and validate user names and passwords.
Quality of Service (QoS) – QoS can be used to give certain traffic priority over other traffic. Without QoS, all traffic in a network has the same priority and chance of being delivered on time. If congestion occurs, all traffic has the same chance of being dropped. With QoS, specific network traffic can be prioritized to receive preferential treatment. In turn, a network performs more predictably, and utilizes bandwidth more effectively.
Remote Monitoring (RMon) – Offers remote monitoring and management of network devices, and enables these devices to communicate with each other to exchange network information.
IPv6 Tunneling and Transition – Provides tools and a command line interface (CLI) via the ZebOS Network Services Module to configure and set parameters for IPv6 to IPv4 transition and tunneling protocols, such as 6to4, Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), and IP-in-IP encapsulation protocols. These features deliver enhanced performance, easy integration and management for access product OEMs/ODMs.
