DMI-to-SNMP Mapping Specification

The Desktop Management Interface and the Internet-standard Network Management Framework, commonly known as "SNMP Management Framework", are standard management frameworks widely deployed to manage computer systems and network devices, respectively. The two frameworks are similar in concept and function. However, while the two frameworks may co-exist on the same system, the two are not inherently interoperable. Despite this, applications that span the heterogeneous nature of system and network management must access management information using both frameworks. Therefore, the objective of this mapping standard is to bridge the interoperability gap between SNMP and DMI-based solutions.
