The Extensible Simple Network Management Protocol (eSNMP)
allows network managers to manage many different types of devices
across all network and vendor boundaries through the use of databases
called Management Information Bases (MIBs). Essentially, information
is exchanged between master agents and subagents,
which are devices such as routers and servers on the network being
managed, and managers, which are the devices
on the network through which the management is done.
This appendix describes the HP Server MIB and the HP Cluster
MIB.
