XML SOAP interface overview
An XML SOAP interface for Brocade Virtual ADX application delivery controllers gives application
administrators a programmatic way to access and manage ADX platforms through published APIs.
It allows customers to achieve better orchestration and control over their application delivery
infrastructure. Application administrators can create custom scripts using the XML SOAP interface
to conduct several configuration tasks, gather system statistics, and simplify day-to-day operational
tasks.
