ManagedEntity defines two attributes. The set of different management methods (e.g., using CLI or SNMP, or even using REST API) that can be used to manage an Entity is contained in the managementMethodSupported attribute, while the current management method that is being used is contained in the managementMethodCurrent enumerated attribute. This is shown in Figure below.<br/>A fundamental characteristic of a ManagedEntity is that it can perform management functions and/or collect management information. ManagementMethodEntity represents the means in which management information is obtained, and ManagementInfo represents the specific type of management data obtained.<br/>
