Subagents

Subagents help the agent by managing a part of the MIB. z/OS® Communications Server supports the following subagents:
  • TCP/IP subagent that manages TCP/IP-related standard MIB objects and several enterprise-specific MIBs
  • OMPROUTE subagent that manages the ospf MIB
  • Network SLAPM2 subagent that manages the Network SLAPM2 MIB
  • TN3270E Telnet subagent that manages the Enterprise-specific TN3270 Telnet MIB

These subagents communicate with the SNMP agent by using the DPI 2.0 protocol.
