The following sections describe the type of management
data supported by the z/OS® Communications
Server SNMP agent and subagents and how this data can be used to support
network management. The SNMP agent supports objects related to the
agent's configuration and the subagents connected to it. The subagents
shipped with z/OS Communications
Server are:
- The TCP/IP subagent
- The OMPROUTE subagent
- The Network SLAPM2 subagent
- The TN3270 Telnet subagent
The agent and subagents support many MIB objects defined as standard
objects in RFCs. Additionally, the SNMP agent and the TCP/IP subagent
support nonstandard MIB objects, called Enterprise-specific objects.
The complete list of MIB objects supported by the SNMP agent and subagents
is in
Management Information Base (MIB) objects. Additionally, subagents
other than those shipped with z/OS Communications
Server can communicate with the z/OS Communications
Server SNMP agent to extend the MIB objects supported. These subagents
must use the Distributed Protocol Interface, as documented in the
z/OS Communications Server: IP Programmer's Guide
and Reference.
