Overview
ScreenPlay is a web-based device management tool for all ExtremeXOS-based
devices running software version 12.0 or higher. ScreenPlay is launched as a web
page on the device. The ScreenPlay client, loaded onto the web browser, uses
SOAP over HTTP to communicate with the device using XML APIs. ScreenPlay
provides a graphical user interface for the more commonly used CLI commands,
with focus on the statistics and monitoring commands.
