IP 9.1 has been enhanced to integrate the Device Access Scripting Language (DASL) framework to facilitate communication with devices with XML API and CLI interfaces.

Note:

DASL framework is not supported on Solaris. It is applicable only RHEL 5, and RHEL 6 platforms.

DASL is used for creating device-independent access methods. DASL framework integration allows IP to provide multiple-vendor support quickly and easily. It is designed to encapsulate all device-specific information in a highly modifiable manner, allowing the main products to remain device-independent. The access methods include:

  • Telnet

  • SSH

  • HTTP

  • HTTPS
