SNMP
The components used in the SNMP implementation are the Adaptec
engine, broadcaster, and device driver. The Adaptec engine is used
to gather all information on the system configuration and to perform
the defined management functions. An SNMP trap broadcast
module has been added to the event logger to handle messages that
are intended specifically for the SNMP console.
Adaptec SNMP Subagent
The Adaptec SNMP subagent attaches to the operating system-
specific master agent to handle SNMP requests for objects defined
that are defined in the Adaptec MIB. It also broadcasts the Adaptec
SNMP traps to the designated management consoles.
The design and implementation of the Adaptec SNMP subagent
complies with the operating system-specific implementations of the
SNMP specification. This assures compatibility and functionality
within each operating system environment. On the client side, all
SNMP management consoles are supported.
Adaptec SNMP Trap Broadcaster Module
An SNMP trap broadcast module controls all Adaptec SNMP traps.
The SNMP trap broadcast module registers with the Adaptec event
logger to receive all events generated for the Adaptec subsystem.
This module then forwards all events to the Adaptec SNMP
subagent for processing and delivery to the SNMP master agent.
The broadcast modules have complete control over how events are
received from the event logger. The modules define what events are
to be sent and how they want to receive the event information. Each
broadcast module has control over which events are to be broadcast,
how they are broadcast, and where they are sent.
