5.4.1.2 Component Interface
The components communicate with the DMI through the CI. The components' subagents are created by end users to manage the respective components (devices/applications, etc.). The following functions are provided by the CI:
-
Registration - Components register with the DMI SP.
-
Sending Events - Component instrumentation sends an indication block to the SP for processing. The DMI mapper translates the DMI indication an SNMP trap.
-
Components respond to the DMI SP requests to Get and Set various attributes instrumented by the component subagent.
