It is recommended that you understand the following proxy bridge definitions to use SNMP with the DSC Platform:
Item | Definition |
---|---|
Object | An Object is a set of Attributes defined by the same Object Types and instances. Items within an SNMP Agent that can be selected using the product Web User Interface (UI) are Objects. A low-speed (LSL) Link is an example of an object. |
Object Type | An Object Type defines a set of Attributes and children Object Types related to the Object. For example, when selecting MTP > Linksets > Link > Specific Link using the Web UI, all of these selections are Object Types. |
Attribute | An Attribute is the variable identifier definition that can be selected for modification. For example, all variables under a particular link in the Web UI have a unique variable identifier or Attribute. A Signaling Link Code (SLC) is an example of a link Object Attribute. An Attribute is an Object in SNMP. |
Instance | An Instance is the specific instance of the variable identifier selected. The Attributes provide the variable type and the Instance gives the unique occurrence of this variable in the system. |
