Part 7: General Services
The Previous Part
Part 6 provided a detailed description of the SM and the SA, as well as the interfaces to the SM and the SA: the SMI and the GSI. In addition, it discussed the issues related to multiple SMs in a subnet and the discovery (i.e., the configuration) process. Part 6 consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 27—The SMI.
Chapter 28—Detailed Description of MADs.
Chapter 29—SM Methods and Attributes.
Chapter 30—Multiple SMs.
Chapter 31—Discovery.
Chapter 32—The GSI.
Chapter 33—Detailed Description of SA.
This Part
Part 7 provides a detailed description of the General Services and consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 34—Baseboard Management.
Chapter 35—Performance Management.
Chapter 36—Communications Management.
Chapter 37—Device Management.
Please note that the first edition of this book does include SNMP Tunneling, vendor-specific management, and application-specific management.
