Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for management of an IP network using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) or a similar protocol in addition to SNMP or other managed-device protocol. In embodiments of the invention, a XML-formatted request for data is received, where the data is associated with a Voice over IP (VoIP) device. A device IP address in a first argument and a Xpath query in a second argument are specified, where the device IP address and the Xpath query are based on the XML-formatted request. A Management Information Base (MIB) variable is identified based on the Xpath query.
