For Immediate Release
EPIC CLI Provides Ready Multi-Protocol Access to Management Information

Knoxville, TN, March 3, 2005 - SNMP Research announces EPIC™ CLI, a ready-to-use, easily extendable, command line interface toolkit which provides multi-protocol access to configure network devices. EPIC CLI is SNMP Research's answer for a ready-to-use CLI which is accessed through a serial port or a Telnet session. The developer can add commands to create a customized CLI for a device.

EPIC CLI provides the following features:

Develop unified SNMP, XML, CLI, and Web-based management easily. EPIC CLI is a toolkit for automatically generating code for commands to allow instant access to management information using SNMP, CLI, and possibly other protocols, for example, XML or HTML.
Easily extend the interface to add non-SNMP commands.
Aliasing of MIB object names allows for a more intuitive interface. For example, the ifTable can be alternately called interface.
SET operations are more efficient using multiple configuration sub-modes. The sub-modes saves time and effort when doing multiple sets on the same MIB object and related objects.
Enhanced printing options allow scaling and arranging large amounts of data.
Command line editing features follow industry-standard conventions and include context sensitive help, command completion, and history.

The CLI uses the EMANATE® Protocol Interface Component (EPIC) Subsystem to retrieve management information and may be accessed through a serial port or a Telnet session. EPIC is a protocol interface component for the EMANATE agent architecture. An EPIC allows one non-SNMP application to submit SNMP Get and Set requests to an SNMP Agent without the use of SNMP or UDP. EPIC allows the requests to be secured using the same access control technology available with SNMPv3: the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) security and view-access subsystems. EPIC is a long-standing member of the SNMP Research product family that has provided the software developer with a common protocol interface to create custom applications.

EPIC CLI is designed for embedded systems but can be used on most popular open systems.
