Mapping the ACCESS and MAX-ACCESS Clauses

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Each MIB object, whether in a scalar or table collection, contains either an ACCESS or MAX-ACCESS clause depending on the version of the MIB. The following tables define the mapping of SNMP-defined access to CIM-defined access.

Table 7: Mapping SNMPv1 MIB ACCESS Class

MIB ACCESS class MOF qualifiers
read-only read
read-write read, write
write-only write
not-accessible not-accessible

Table 8: Mapping SNMPv2C MIB MAX ACCESS Class

MIB MAX ACCESS class MOF qualifiers
read-only read
read-write read, write
read-create read
accessible-for-notify not-accessible
not-accessible not-accessible

Where a MIB object maps to "not-accessible" and is not a keyed property of the class, there is no mapping of the MIB object itself.
