Alert Standard Format (ASF) is a standards-based technology that allows the IT administrator to manage network nodes without regard to system state. This Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) sponsored initiative allows the IT administrator to not only identify platform events but also provides the ability to securely perform corrective actions that address these alerts. Furthermore, ASF allows the IT administrator to manage client systems in both the OS present and OS absent states.
Contact your network administrator for more information. If you are a network administrator and want more information, contact your vendor or consult the documentation shipped by your vendor.
