Information processing device enabling the management of an information resource by an administration system
First Claim
1. An information processing device, implanted in an information processing resource, for enabling dialog between an administration system for objects and said information processing resource, by the agency of a SNMP administrative protocol and through a network, said information processing device comprising dispatching and dialog management means including a configuration file, and a set of specific agents of the SNMP administrative protocol being used in said information processing device, wherein each SNMP agent supports a set of objects, said dispatching and dialog management means being operable to receive requests from the administration system, and after reading said configuration file dispatching said requests, as a function of an object to which said requests pertain, to at least one of said SNMP agents, said dispatching and dialog management means further being operable to receive responses to said requests from said SNMP agents and transmit said responses to said administration system and enables the transmission of a request to a first SNMP agent which is process said request during which said dispatching and dialog management means id operalbel to route a second request to a seocnd SNMP agent that then processes said second request in parallel with the first SNMP agent.

Abstract
An information processing device IPD implanted in an information processing resource RES which enables dialog between an administration system MAN and the resource RES, by the agency of a standard protocol such as SNMP and through a network such as TCP/IP. The device PID is constituted on the one hand by a selection and dialog manager DIS including a configuration file CF, and on the other by a set of specific agents A1, A2, . . . , An of the protocol SNMP, the protocol which is also used in the device IPD. The manager DIS receives requests form the system MAN and, after reading the file CF, dispatches them, as a function of the object to which they pertain, to one or more of the agents A1, A2, . . . , An and then receives the responses to the requests sent by the appropriate agents and transmits them to the system MAN.
