ABSTRACT:
In an SNMP-based network management system, an agent within the system maintains a quantity of memory which serves as a "lock table." The lock table is a set of object identifiers (OID's) relating to objects associated with the agent. When a manager on the network requests a particular object associated with the agent, the agent retains the OID of the object in the lock table. If another manager simultaneously wishes to set an object associated with the agent, the OID of the proposed object is compared to any OID currently in the lock table, and if the proposed object intersects with one of the objects in the lock table, access to the object is denied. The method permits locking of specific objects, while leaving other objects associated with the same device available to others.
