Access points are channels of communication using which a software or a hardware deployment can be monitored in Enterprise Manager. They are upload points through which data is collected and uploaded to Oracle Management Service (OMS). While most targets have a single access point, some targets have multiple access points.

This chapter introduces you to the concept of access points, and describes how you can monitor the access points that are configured for a multi-access point target (for example, System Infrastructure Server, System Infrastructure Cisco Switch, and so on). In particular, this chapter covers the following:
