Abstract
A method, hardware device, and/or computer program product manages network resources. A cloud service provider hypervisor server that supports a cloud service provider hypervisor receives a cloud consumer's management information base (MIB) via an application program interface. The cloud consumer's MIB is a portable MIB that is capable of being loaded into multiple cloud service provider hypervisors. A trap receiver in the cloud service provider hypervisor server receives a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap from a resource described by the cloud consumer's MIB. The SNMP trap is an SNMP message that describes an event in the resource. The cloud service provider hypervisor server transfers the SNMP trap to a cloud consumer without any interpretation of the SNMP trap by the cloud service provider hypervisor.
