The common network management information service element interfaces
Nasser Modiri · 2002
The authors describe work aimed at developing a network management system to monitor, analyze, and manage the interactions between a network agent connected to an OSI (open systems interconnection) network and the OSI resources that are used by the agent. The results of the analysis are presented in a suitable format with complementary comments to aid the network manager in verifying the results obtained. In the experimental systems, all the parameters associated with the ISO stack (procedures) are readily accessible by the LCMISE (local common management information service element) (procedures). Thus, as the FTAM (file transfer access and management) client and server processes communicate through the ISO stack, operational parameters relating to the latter can be accessed or changed by the network manager via the NMAP (network manager application process), CMISE, and CMIP (common management information protocol).>
