Glossary
Application Programming Interface. A set of ready-to-use functions that provide the basis for a method of programming a user application.
A Board is a physical board installed in the system (typically the managed node). A board may be made up of one or more devices, but each one of those devices shall have the same Board ID.
An entity that contains one agent and one or more managers, and is named by the string of octets.
A device is whatever the MIB Module creators choose it to be. It can be a board, or it can be a channel. That is up to the MIB Module. The Intel Dialogic agent is not concerned with what a device is.
Area for delegation of subtrees to other organizations.
The system that is being remotely monitored and has SNMP agents installed.
(also called management node): The system that has the manager (management application) installed.
The management application which monitors and/or administers a remote system, such as HP OpenView* Network Node Manager.
The primary interface between the network manager and the subagents. The master agent acts as a request scheduler and dispatcher for all subscribed subagents. The subagents send traps to the master agent, which are then forwarded to the manager.
Management Information Base. Specification containing definitions of management information so that networked systems can be remotely monitored, configured and controlled.
Network Management Station. A dedicated workstation that gathers and stores network performance data. The NMS gets the data from network nodes (computers) running network agent software that enables them to collect the data.
Object Identifier. SNMP uses an identification scheme found in ASN.1 to uniquely identify items used throughout SNMP. An identifier in this scheme is called an object identifier.
Simple Network Management Protocol. A simple protocol which uses either UDP, TCP/IP, or IPX (depending on the operating system) to transmit messages between a manager and an agent to perform network management.
This SNMP subagent supports the Management Information Base (MIB) module and provides manageability to various Intel Dialogic applications or components within a system. The subagents interact with the Master Agent using SNMP.
Acts as a relay/multiplexor in its communication with subagents, and also as an agent in servicing requests from SNMP managers.
An event that is sent by the agent asynchronously. However, the manager does have control over whether traps are sent or not.
