The technology of mobile agents has proven its usefulness for system and network management. In order to be effective, the integration of SNMP-based operations and the use of mobility should be effective. This paper presents a step forwards such an integration, by designing and implementing itineraries of mixed destination types: (1) a destination type that represents a location where a mobile agent migrates (for reaching a remote network for performance purposes, or/and for managing the location using a pure Java function); (2) a destination type that represents a location onto which the agent is not able to migrate, but for which an SNMP-based operation must be executed through a classical client-server interaction. The mixed usage of both kinds of destinations is unified within our solution, and as such greatly simplifies the programming of new system and network management operations.
