ABSTRACT:
A method and machine readable storage for adding a simple network management protocol (SNMP) interface to an existing resource management extension-enabled management agent. The SNMP interface can be added without modifying the management agent. The method includes the step of reading definitions of managed objects associated with said management agent. The definitions can be read at runtime of the management agent. A SNMP management information base (MIB) definition is automatically generated. The SNMP MIB provides a SNMP representation of the management agent and incorporates SNMP object definitions correlating to at least a portion of read managed object definitions.
