Addressing Using Xpath Or Simplepath; Feedback - Cisco TelePresence System Codec C90 Reference Manual

Cisco TelePresence System Codec C90
Contents Introduction

Addressing Using XPath or SimplePath

To address information in the hierarchic structure of Status
and Configuration information, the Cisco systems support
abbreviated XML Path Language (XPath) and a proprietary
notation called SimplePath (only available using XACLI).
This allows the user/control application to address everything
from a single element of data (for example the call rate of a
specific call) to larger parts of the hierarchy (for example all
information available for a given call).
Using XPath
Addressing the 1st DNS Server Address of the 1st Network:
Each level is separated with a slash ('/'). Item numbers are
added in brackets after the element name:
•
Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address
Example:
xConfiguration Network[1]/DNS Server[1]/Address
*c xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address:
"test"
OK
Using SimplePath
Addressing the 1st DNS Server Address of the 1st Network:
Both levels and item numbers are separated with white spaces:
•
Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address
Example:
xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address
*c xConfiguration Network 1 DNS Server 1 Address:
"test"
OK

Feedback

Feedback is an extremely powerful feature where the Cisco
system actively returns updated status and configuration
information to the user/control application whenever changes
occur.
The user/control application can specify what parts of the
status and configuration hierarchies it wants to monitor by
using XPath. The user/control application can thereby limit the
amount of information it receives from the target system to only
those parts being of interest for the given application. This will
also reduce the load on the link connecting the systems.
Feedback is supported on both XACLI (RS-232/Telnet/SSH)
and TXAS (HTTP/HTTPS) simultaneously.
The system uses SimplePath when presenting configurations.
XPath and SimplePath are described thoroughly later in this
section of the manual.
The structuring of information together with XPath and
SimplePath for addressing, makes up powerful features as
the ability to search and setting of multiple instances of a
configuration.
