The NAC API provides a method of inputting configuration into the NAC using a Perl script instead of typing it in manually. This is really nice if you have a large number of items to add or if you want to automate a particular process. One example would be to add the MAC addresses of printers to the device filter list. Another example would be to a method of automatically creating guest user accounts. Both of these features can be completed by the NAC Profiler and NAC Guest Server for larger deployments

There's a good example of using the NAC API in the NAC Manager FAQ

Here is a recap of articles I posted in April to my blog at Netcordia:

• "Network SLA Methodologies" discusses the the types of data needed for SLA calculations. It also discusses useful calculation methodologies.
• "Network SLAs - Which One to Use?" discusses some ways to select your network SLAs.
• "The Network Microscope" describes my vision of the ultimate network microscope. This tool would tell me who is sending how much of what data on a link.
• "Mean Time to Convince" offers some ideas about little know components of MTTR. You probably have heard of MTTR - Mean Time to Repair. But you may want to learn about some underlying MTTR components - MTTC, MTTG, and MTTI.

I thought I'd post a summary of some BGP questions and follow up responses from a recent group e-mail discussion.
