Yoshiaki Kiriha, Shoichiro Nakai, K. Arima, Hiroshi Kuriyama · 2002
The authors propose an automatic generation of a management information base (MIB), which forms one part of the total NMS (network management system) development support tools. The proposed MIB has capabilities to manage the management information distributed over a network, and gives a convenient object-oriented interface for application programs to handle the distributed information in a transparent fashion. MIB libraries and tools have been developed, part of which can be used as the application interfaces, while others are used internally in the MIB. These libraries and tools cooperatively make possible the automatic generation of MIB. The implementation of the proposed MIB has been done, and it is being applied to real NMS products.>
