Solaris WBEM Services Administration Guide

SNMP Adapter for WBEM

Intended for use by system administrators, the SNMP Adapter for WBEM enables Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management applications to access system management information that is provided by Solaris WBEM Services.

Used with snmpdx, the Master Agent of the Solstice Enterprise AgentsTM technology, the SNMP Adapter for WBEM maps SNMP requests into equivalent WBEM Common Information Model (CIM) properties or instances. The Master Agent is described in snmpdx(1M).

The SNMP Adapter for WBEM also remaps the response from the CIM Object Manager into an SNMP response, which is returned to the management application.

A mapping file contains the corresponding Object Identifier (OID), class name, property name, and Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) type for each object. You can create your own mapping files.
