The aetitle attribute is composed of three parts:
- The network ID
- The node or network addressable unit
- The System Management Application Entity (SMAE) name
The three parts are separated by semicolons. Except within
the node part, there are no embedded blanks.
class managed object
name '1.3.18.0.2.4.6=USIBMNR;2.9.3.2.7.4=(name NR55550I)'
aetitle '1.3.18.0.2.4.6=USIBMNR;2.9.3.2.7.4=(name "NR55555I");1.3.18.0.2.4.12=OSISMASE'
- The object identifier 1.3.18.0.2.4.6 is assigned the value equivalent
to the network ID for the first part.
- The second part consists of the node ID (CP Name) associated with
object identifier 2.9.3.2.7.4, in the form (name "nodeID"). Note that
the above example shows the nodeID both by itself and surrounded by
double-quotes ("). Algorithmic mapping performed by directory services
always generates an AE-title with the node ID enclosed in double-quotes.
Therefore, they should also be specified in any directory definition
file "aetitle" records. However, directory services allows a
match even when the directory definition file record does not have
the node ID enclosed in quotes.
- The third part is the SMAE name, "OSISMASE" in the above
example. It is the value for object identifier 1.3.18.0.2.4.12.
In general, when interconnecting management networks,
the network administrator or other persons updating the directory
definition file must determine how the aetitle is to be specified
for each remote partner for which an entry must be made.
