CIM Property Qualifiers for MIB Objects

The SNMP Provider uses the following CIM property qualifiers when mapping MIB object definitions to CIM class definitions. A mandatory qualifier must be present for the SNMP Provider to fully resolve a MIB object. Failure to define a mandatory qualifier returns an error. Specifying an illegal qualifier value also returns an error.

Note

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

Fixed_Length	uint32Optional Fixed-length value.
Key	BoolOptional Key property of a class definition.
