NAME

trn_mom − 802.5 Token Ring Managed Object Module (MOM) component of the POLYCENTER Common Agent

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/trn_mom

DESCRIPTION

The trn_mom process executes in conjunction with the other Common Agent components to provide SNMP agent management functionality.  The other run-time Common Agent components consist of the mold process, the internet_mom process, the fddi_mom process, and the snmp_pe process. 

The mold process provides the registration facility that relates managed object classes to the MOMs that support the classes, and also acts as a MOM lookup service for the Common Agent components.  The internet_mom process is the MOM component of the POLYCENTER Common Agent that provides access to the Internet MIB-II objects as defined by RFC 1213.  The fddi_mom process is the MOM component of the POLYCENTER Common Agent that provides access to the FDDI MIB managed objects as defined by RFC 1285.  The snmp_pe process is the Common Agent’s SNMP protocol engine component that handles incoming SNMP management requests, sends SNMP management responses, and issues SNMP traps. 

The trn_mom process is the mechanism within the Common Agent that provides access to managed objects as defined by IEEE 802.5 Token Ring MIB (RFC 1231). 

The trn_mom process sits in the background and services the following types of requests sent to it from the SNMP protocol engine:

       •GET requests for one or more Token Ring MIB variables.  The requested variables must be valid, readable variables. 

       •ACTION (GET-NEXT) requests for one or more Token Ring MIB variables.  When the trn_mom process completes the requested operation, it returns the results of the operation to the SNMP protocol engine, which then packages the response appropriately and ships the response to the requesting Network Management Station.
