A method of adding a simple network management protocol (SNMP) interface
to an existing resource management extension-enabled management agent
without modifying the management agent can include reading a management
information base definition of the management agent and creating a static
mapping of SNMP object identifiers to management software components of
the management agent using the management information base definition.
During operation of the management agent, dynamic operating information
for the management software components of the management agent can be
determined. The static mapping can be updated with the dynamic operating
information.
