SUMMARY

Some Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents and agent extensions implement SNMP tables that let management applications create rows in the table. Frequently, an SNMP agent or extension will use a variable or field in this table to indicate the current status of the row.

Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) includes an SNMP Provider that displays SNMP variables and tables as WMI instances. You can use this provider to create rows in agents or in agent extensions. However, the WMI SNMP Provider only supports row creation by using the RowStatus textual convention that is defined in the SNMPv2-TC module. The WMI SNMP Provider does not support using a proprietary SNMP variable.
