Intel® DMI to SNMP Mapper Version 1.1 for Microsoft Win32*

The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a standard management framework widely deployed to manage computer systems. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Framework (also known as the Internet-standard Network Management Framework) is widely used to manage network devices. The DMI and SNMP frameworks are similar in concept and function. However, the two are not inherently interoperable. Making the two protocols interoperable would greatly enhance enterprise management solutions, and provide an integrated network and system management capability.

The Desktop Management Task Force, Inc. (DMTF), recognizing the need for leveraging on both the ubiquity of SNMP-based server applications and the predominance of DMI-instrumented systems, adopted a DMI to SNMP mapping standard. The Intel DMI to SNMP Mapper, which implements the DMTF standard, addresses the need to enable SNMP applications to also manage DMI-instrumented systems.

The DMI to SNMP Mapper facilitates writing a standard SNMP-based management application that can manage the functionality defined by a set of standard DMTF Management Information Format (MIF) groups, independent both of the component that implements those groups and of the system on which that component is installed. The Mapper also provides SNMP access to any component MIF installed on a DMI-instrumented system.

DMI to SNMP Mapper Architecture

The DMI to SNMP Mapper provides the additional functionality to SNMP-based management in two components: Management Information Base (MIB) Generator and SNMP Agent Extension.
  • The MIB Generator maps the DMI attributes in the MIF database into MIB objects, and generates MIB files ready to be loaded into the MIB database located on the management console.

  • The SNMP Agent Extension resides on DMI-enabled systems. It allows the systems to be managed by SNMP-based applications, by translating incoming SNMP commands into DMI calls and packaging the Service Provider results into SNMP format. It also translates DMI indications into SNMP traps.
For complete information, see the DMI to SNMP Mapper User Guide.
