5.7.1 Subagent Initialization/Reinstallation

• Registers itself with SP, so the SP may provide services, such as access to the MIF database and indications from components.

• Builds a translation table for mapping. This is done by reading the map files created for each component. The translation table is built when the mapper initially comes up. Later, when a new component is installed and registered with the SP, the DMI SP sends an event to the mapper. The mapper then adds the new map file entry into its mapping table.

• Establishes a connection between the Master Agent and subagent; it also registers itself with the Master Agent.

• Builds up the translation table used for SNMP/DMI mapping and translating SNMP OIDs to DMI objects dynamically.
