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.
