Information processing apparatus allowing information resource management by a management system

Abstract

Abstract This information processing apparatus IPD is installed in a computerised information resource RES so as to allow, via a standard protocol such as SNMP and through a network such as TCP/IP, dialogue between a management system MAN and the resource RES. The IPD apparatus consists on the one hand of dialogue routing and administration means DIS including a configuration file CF and on the other hand of a set of specific agents A1, A2,..., An for the SNMP prototol, which protocol is also used in the IPD apparatus. The DIS means receive enquiries from the MAN system and after reading the CF file route them, depending on the object to which they relate, to one or more agents A1, A2,..., An and then receive the replies to the enquiries sent by the appropriate agents and relay them to the MAN system. <IMAGE>
