BEHAVIOUR
bAgentPresent BEHAVIOUR
DEFINED AS !This notification is used to announce the presence of a set
of managed object classes/instances that are supported by the
Agent. It may be emitted in the following circumstances, in
accordance with Agent policy:
1) On Agent initialization or start-up, to inform Managers
of the presence of the Agent and the managed object classes/
instances supported;
2) On creation of new instances by the station, to inform
Managers of the existence of the new capability, or
following receipt of an Event Forwarding Disable action
which results in managed objects that no longer have event
reporting enabled to any (or sufficient) managers;
3) In response to a Manager Present action.
In cases 1 and 2, the "Unsolicited" variant of the information
syntax is used; in case 3, the "Solicited" variant of the
information syntax is used. In the "Unsolicited" variant, the
level of detail provided in the information syntax is a local
matter. In the "Solicited" variant (case 3), the level of
detail shall at least match that of the action to which it is
responding, as follows:
- If an empty Class-Instance List was provided in the
action request, the level of detail provided by the Agent
is a local matter.
- If the Class-Instance List contained managed object
classes with no accompanying instance names, then the Agent
Present notification shall at least include the class names
of any such classes for which instances appear in the
Eligible Set (as described in the behaviour of the Manager
Present action).
- If the Class-Instance List contained instance names,
then the Agent Present notification shall include the class
and instance names of any such instances which appear in the
Eligible Set (as described in the behaviour of the Manager
Present action). !
