SNMP Adaptor exposes the manageable information from
MBeans as MIB objects such that SNMP managers can access
them. It has been implemented based on standard RFCs
for SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 compliance. The advantage
of SNMP adaptor is that it interprets SNMP management
requests, performs the operation on the corresponding
managed objects and returns the SNMP response to the
manager.
As the SNMP adaptor itself is represented as managed
objects, its information are exposed to management.
It also converts the Standard JMX Notifications into
Standard SNMP Traps and reports it to remote manager
applications.

Features
Benefits
Complete SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 support
Based on RFC Standards that enables implementation
of different SNMP compliance easier.
Highly scalable master sub-agent architecture
Enables distributed management that provides a single
point of contact to the remote applications in the network.
Authentication support
Restricts the access level of the users to the agent.
Trap listening and forwarding support in master agent
Forwards the notification sent
by the sub-agents to any number of manager application.
Access management information
through HP Openview
Seamless integration with HP Openview and also with
other standard management consoles.
SNMP adaptor acts as a wrapper over simple SNMP agent providing
the same stability as the standalone SNMP agent. Refer to
SNMP Agent to know about standalone SNMP agent's key features
and benefits.
