Configuring Manageability

This module describes the configuration required to enable the Extensible Markup Language (XML) agent
services. The XML Parser Infrastructure provides parsing and generation of XML documents with Document
Object Model (DOM), Simple Application Programming Interface (API) for XML (SAX), and Document
Type Definition (DTD) validation capabilities:
• DOM allows customers to programmatically create, manipulate, and generate XML documents.
• SAX supports user-defined functions for XML tags.
• DTD allows for validation of defined document types.

Information about XML Manageability

The Cisco IOS XR Extensible Markup Language (XML) API provides a programmable interface to the router
for use by external management applications. This interface provides a mechanism for router configuration
and monitoring utilizing XML formatted request and response streams. The XML interface is built on top of
the Management Data API (MDA), which provides a mechanism for Cisco IOS XR components to publish
their data models through MDA schema definition files.
Cisco IOS XR software provides the ability to access the router via XML using a dedicated TCP connection,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL), or a specific VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.
