The OSI management architecture: an overview

S.M. Klerer

Abstract

A description is given of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) management environment, which consists of tools and services needed to control and supervise interconnection activities and any associated managed objects. It is intended to allow a user, once he or she has been provided with the capability of communicating across several subnetworks, to manage this collection of subnetworks and systems as a single communications network. The OSI management structure is examined, and an outline of OSI management services is provided. The common management information protocol (CMIP), a general-purpose management protocol that is suitable for the management of both OSI resources and the real resources used to provide communications services, is presented. Future extensions of OSI management research are discussed.>
