Network Access

OSI-CMIP

The Common Management Information Services Element(CMISE) is a mandatory service element for system management applications. CMISE offers simple, yet uniform services, which may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized environment to exchange information and commands for the purpose of system management.

OSI-CMIP supplies an interface that provides functions which maybe used to support both ISO and user-defined management protocols. The product also provides programmatic access. 

Conformance 

Conforms to ISO IS 9595 (CMIP) and ISO 9072 (ROSE) standards. Conforms to AOM11, AOM12, UK GOSIP and US GOSIP profiles.

Interoperability 

Interoperability tests with a variety of systems are a part of the OSI-CMIP quality assurance process. It can interoperate with any CMIP product implementation conforming to the above-defined profiles.

Implementation Statement 

The protocol functions, primitives and Application contexts are implemented in conformance to above defined profiles and NMF OMNIPoint Basic communications component set.

CMISE Primitives Supported 

The CMIS service has primitives for the communication of requests for each type of management operation. There are two types of information transfer service: 

  • Management Notification Service: 

    The Notification service is used to convey management information contained in the notifications generated by managed objects:

  • M-Event-Report: Confirmed and non-Confirmed 

    Management Operation services:
    Frequently used services within the scope of systems management 

M-GET: 

Confirmed

M-CANCEL-GET:

Confirmed 

M-CREATE:

Confirmed

M-DELETE:

Confirmed 

M-SET:

Confirmed and non-Confirmed

M-ACTION:

Confirmed and non-Confirmed

  
CMISE Functional Units Supported 

  • Kernel functional units: Include every CMISE services listed above except the M-CANCEL-GET service.

  • Multiple-Object-Selection functional unit: Enables operations to be performed on multiple managed objects selected to satisfy some criteria and be subject to a "synchronizing" condition 

  • Filter functional unit: Enables the application to apply a series of tests to each member of the set of the previously scoped managed objects in order to extract a subset. 

  • Multiple-Reply functional unit: Enables multiple responses to confirmed operations to be "linked" to that operation by the use of a linked identification parameter. 

  • Cancel-get functional unit: Enables the use of the M-CANCEL-GET service. 

  • Extended-Service functional unit: Makes available Presentation Layer services in addition to P-DATA service. 

Application Contexts Supported 

The Application Context is available for an association in the System for ACSE, ROSE, CMISE and SMASE ASEs.
The SMASE provides management services to the user of the Systems Management Application Entity (SMAE). The SMASE uses CMISE, which, in turn, uses ROSE. The SACF provides the management association services to the SMAE and uses ACSE. The SMASE, CMISE and ROSE share a single abstract syntax. Depending on the Application Contexts OSI-CMISE assigns the role of an initiator or the responder:

  • Manager Application Context: the initiator takes the manager role and the responder the agent role. 

  • Agent Application Context: the initiator takes the agent role and the responder the manager role. 

  • Manager and Agent Application Context: the initiator and the responder take both roles. 

Diagnostic Aid 

The cmise_chtr() function allows the CMISE-User Application to change the tracing level of the OSI-CMIP.

Standards 

OSI-CMIP supports the following protocols: 

  • CMIP ISO IS 9595, 9596 

  • ROSE ISO 9072-1, 9072-2 

  • ASN.1 ISO 8824 

OSI Application developer 

  • Programming Guide: Interface description for CMIP functions, CMISE services. 

  • Appropriate dlls, Libraries and include files for linking and compilation with applications. 

  • Sample application in 'C' demonstrating the use of CMISE services. 

System Requirements 

Hardware - Intel PC with suitable LAN or WAN communication board
Software - MS-Windows NT V3.1/3.5/3.51/4.0


Mandatory Component 

Requires OSI-MAPS product. This product implements the ISO Standards Session, Presentation and ACSE Layers. It stands for the OSI Minimal Upper Layers ACSE, Presentation and Session profile developed by OIW/EWOS. Due to its small size and efficient implementation, it is very suitable for applications with a small memory footprint, strict disk space requirements, etc. without sacrificing performance.

Complementary Products

  • OSI-LAN - Provides the Local Area Network connectivity via TP4/CLNP/ES-IS/LLC-1/802.3 or 802.5 

  • OSI-WAN - Provides the Wide Area Network connectivity via TP02/X.25/V.35 or X.21 or RS-232 

  • TCP-IP - Microsoft's TCP-IP protocol stack that comes with Windows NT 4.0 Operating System
