Addressing, managed, elements

Page 20 highlights

Figure 1. SMASH CLP architectural model In the Client section, the CLP user represents the operator or program utilizing the CLI. Transport of information between the client and the Management server is through either Telnet or Secure Shell (SSHv2) for secure, encrypted transmissions. The managed elements (MEs) are the objects, targets, components, resources, collections, or logical entities within a managed system that the operations manipulate, such as its blades or switches. Addressing managed elements In Figure 1, the CLI command string is directed towards a particular managed element specified through a hierarchy of managed elements or the directory path. This section takes a closer look at the concept of hierarchical addressing of target managed elements, Server Management Managed Element (SM ME) addressing , which is a user-friendly way to address objects in a managed system. Figure 2 on page 5 demonstrates the concept of hierarchy among manageable elements. According to this figure: v Sensors are managed logical elements that reside on blades. 4 SMASH Proxy Installation and User's Guide

In
the
Client
section,
the
CLP
user
represents
the
operator
or
program
utilizing
the
CLI.
Transport
of
information
between
the
client
and
the
Management
server
is
through
either
Telnet
or
Secure
Shell
(SSHv2)
for
secure,
encrypted
transmissions.
The
managed
elements
(
ME
s)
are
the
objects,
targets,
components,
resources,
collections,
or
logical
entities
within
a
managed
system
that
the
operations
manipulate,
such
as
its
blades
or
switches.
Addressing
managed
elements
In
Figure
1,
the
CLI
command
string
is
directed
towards
a
particular
managed
element
specified
through
a
hierarchy
of
managed
elements
or
the
directory
path.
This
section
takes
a
closer
look
at
the
concept
of
hierarchical
addressing
of
target
managed
elements,
Server
Management
Managed
Element
(SM
ME)
addressing
,
which
is
a
user-friendly
way
to
address
objects
in
a
managed
system.
Figure

demonstrates
the
concept
of
hierarchy
among
manageable
elements.
According

Sensors
are

logical
elements
that
