This MIB module is for the management of the SNMP context in
the Brocade managed entities.
An SNMP context, or just 'context' for short, is a collection
of management information accessible by an SNMP entity. An item
of management information may exist in more than one context.
An SNMP entity potentially has access to many contexts.
While SNMP context itself is generically defined to cater to
the access of multiple instances of the MIB modules and
management information, it is required to define what 'context'
means for a given managed entity. This MIB module provides the
management of such context. As technology evolves, the
definition of the context can evolve and hence such definition
should be extensible.
The context referred in this management module is same as
'contextName' as defined in the SNMPv3 PDU and also
maps to the 'snmpCommunityContextName' of snmpCommunityTable
in 'SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB'. The rest of the elements of procedure
described for processing SNMP PDU remains the same.
