SNMP interface to existing resource management extension-enabled management agents

摘要

A method of adding a simple network management protocol (SNMP) interface to an existing resource management extension-enabled management agent without modifying the management agent can include reading a management information base definition of the management agent and creating a static mapping of SNMP object identifiers to management software components of the management agent using the management information base definition. During operation of the management agent, dynamic operating information for the management software components of the management agent can be determined. The static mapping can be updated with the dynamic operating information.
