CIM System Properties for MIB Objects

WMI defines a set of system properties that are associated with all classes and instances of classes in addition to class-specific properties.

Note

For more information about installing the provider, see Setting up the WMI SNMP Environment.

The SNMP Provider uses the following CIM system properties when mapping MIB object definitions to CIM class definitions. Mandatory properties must be present for the SNMP Provider to fully resolve a group object. Failure to define a mandatory property returns an error.
