Communication is established between the management client and management agent using normal AMQP procedures. The client creates a connection to the broker and then establishes a session with its corresponding channel.
Two A private queues are then declared (only one if method invocation is not needed). A management queue is (exclusive/auto-delete) queue is then declared and bound to the qpid.management exchange. If the A binding with key is "mgmtschema.#" , will subscribe to all management-related messages sent to the exchange will be received by this client. A more specific binding key will result in a more restricted set of messages being received (see the section on Routing Key Structure below).schema-related information and a second binding with key "console.#" will subscribe to all management data.
A binding must also be established to the "amq.direct" exchange using the queue's name as the binding key. This will be used as a reply-to address for requests sent to the broker and to agentsIf methods are going to be invoked on managed objects, a second private queue must be declared so the client can receive method replies. This queue is bound to the amq.direct exchange using a routing key equal to the name of the queue.
When a client successfully binds to the qpid.management exchange, the management agent schedules a schema broadcast to be sent to the exchange. The agent will publish, via the exchange, a description of the schema for all manageable objects in its control.

Broadcast of Configuration and Instrumentation Updates
The management agent will periodically publish updates to the configuration and instrumentation of management objects under its control. Under normal circumstances, these updates are published only if they have changed since the last time they were published. Configuration updates are only published if configuration has changed and instrumentation updates are only published if instrumentation has changed. The exception to this rule is that after a management client binds to the qpid.management exchange, all configuration and instrumentation records are published as though they had changed whether or not they actually did.

Method request messages have the following structure. The sequence number is opaque to the management agent. It is returned unchanged in the method reply so the calling client can correctly associate the reply to the request. The objectId is the unique ID of the object on which the method is to be executed.
