REST API enables network automation, and enhances consistency of network operations
Discover how our REST APIs are revolutionizing network automation. Our cutting-edge technology is designed to help organizations develop intelligent clouds with robust network automation capabilities. As infrastructure and operations leaders face challenges with legacy solutions, our REST API offers a modern solution that enables process and configuration agility while ensuring compliance. Legacy network configuration and change management tools have been the norm, but newer virtual network configuration automation solutions have gained ground in recent times. Organizations are looking to catch up with the technology and adopt software-defined networking. However, automating existing network infrastructure for DNS and DHCP using outdated APIs and insecure methods, such as weak ciphers and plain text passwords, compromise security in mission-critical organizations. Additionally, developing automation using insecure methods can cause organizations to fall out of compliance with corporate and government policies, auditing standards, and regulations.

Our Restful API is available in different programming languages, including Python, Java, and Curl. Our CLI toolset is on top of our RESTful API engine, enabling users to develop innovative applications for their private and hybrid clouds. Our Restful API also accelerates the time to provision hundreds of DNS records, providing token-based access to secure the DDI management layer for network automation.

TCPWave offers the right network automation tool to overcome these challenges. We provide a RESTful API that simplifies every trivial task in IPAM and generates an authorization token for each user. Our system also supports the SSL certificate-based approach to enhance security. Our RESTful design increases API performance, reduces development effort, and minimizes operational support burden. Legacy IPAM solutions are not genuinely based on REST constraints and principles and do not exhibit expected scalability, evolvability, and interoperability. With our solution, development teams can create scalable cloud and mobile applications systems by conforming to web applications, services, and APIs with proven RESTful constraints. With authorized administrator privileges, our RESTful API enables users to perform various operations, including adding networks, subnets, A records, PTR records, and MX records. Other operations include bulk additions from CSV, bulk deletes, and bulk modifications. Users can add new DNS servers and zones, enable DNSSEC on a zone, and change the master or slaves associated with a zone. Additionally, users can create a DHCP scope, change an SNMP community string, and restart/reboot a remote DHCP or DNS server.
