●
Programmatic XML interface: Based on the NETCONF industry standard, the Cisco NX-OS XML interface
provides a consistent API for devices, enabling rapid development and creation of tools to enhance the
network.
●
SNMP: Cisco NX-OS complies with SNMPv1, v2, and v3. An extensive collection of MIBs is supported.
●
RBAC: With RBAC, Cisco NX-OS enables administrators to limit access to switch operations by assigning
roles to users. Administrators can customize access and restrict it to the users who require it.
