Abstract
A relay mechanism for a network management system permits ready extension and/or modification to an existing system through the use of standard network protocol agents. The relay mechanism uses standard SNMP messaging for both local and remote communication. Only the SNMP relay mechanism is connected to UDP port 161 into listen for management application requests. In operation, the relay examines incoming SNMP requests from a management application and, based on a number of parameters, creates one or more individual smaller SNMP requests which are relayed to the individual agents. When the SNMP relay mechanism receives all the responses to the local SNMP requests, it marshals the information into a single response which is then sent back to the management application.
