WHAT IS CMISE?
The Service Interface specified in ITU-T Recommendation X.710, ISO/IEC International Standard 9595 CMISE is part of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) body of international network standards. Defines the service interface that is implemented by the CMIP

CMISE IS SPECIFIED IN TWO PARTS

The Common Management Information Service (CMIS) is a user interface specifying the services provided (ISO 9595). The Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) specifies the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) format and associated procedures (IOS 9596).

CMIP ADVANTAGES

CMIP was proposed as a replacement for SNMP as part of the ITU-T Telecommunications Management Network (TMN). The major advantages of CMIP over SNMP are as follows: CMIP variables contain information similar to SNMP and can also define actions and perform tasks. CMIP has built-in security mechanisms for authorization, access control, and security logs. CMIP provides flexible reporting of unusual network conditions. The CMIP information model is object-oriented compared to the object-based model from SNMP

WHAT IT DOES?
The fundamental function of the CMISE is the exchange of management information between two manager & agent entities CMIS defines a message set (GET, CANCELGET, SET, CREATE, DELETE, EVENTREPORT and ACTION), and the structure and content of the messages such that they might be used by "open" systems. In concept, it is similar to SNMP, but more powerful (and hence more complex).

WHERE IS CMISE
CMISE has its presence in Application Layer of OSI model The Application Layer provides two application specific services: CMISE for management and FTAM for file transfer, e.g. software download. FTAM uses services provided by ACSE whereas CMISE uses both ACSE and ROSE.

HOW CMISE WORKS

Access to managed information in the managed objects is provided by the CMISE that uses CMIP to issue requests for management services. The management services provided by CMIP/CMISE can be organized into two distinct groups, management operation services initiated by a manager to request that an agent provide certain services or information, and notification services, used by the management agents to inform the managers that some event or set of events have occurred. Operations initiated by the manager include:

OSI NETWORK MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURE

The CMIP Agent does following 1. Imposes access constrains 2. Performs object selection for incoming operation invocation 3. Provides dissemination for outgoing event notifications

CMIP PROTOCOL SERVICE ELEMENTS

M-CREATE - directs the agent to create new instance(s) of a managed object class or attributes within a managed object M-DELETE - directs the agent to delete existing instances of managed object class(es) or attributes within a set contained in a managed object M-GET - directs the agent to return attribute values from managed objects M-SET - directs the agent to change the value of managed object attribute(s) M-ACTION - directs the agent to cause one or more managed objects to execute an action M-EVENT_REPORT - service is issued by an agent to send a notification to managers

PROTOCOL OPERATION

12

CMISE requests can be scoped to apply to a range of managed objects. Four levels of scoping can be applied, with the request being applied to:The base object (as identified by the Distinguished Name) Objects at the nth level subordinate to the object. The base object is termed to be at level 0 for this type of scoping The base object and all managed objects to (and including) the nth level An entire sub tree - the base object and all subordinate objects on the containment tree

SCOPING AND FILTERING OF CMISE

The CMISE makes use of the OSI Application layer service elements to complete the processing of these requests. The Association Control Service Element (ACSE) is used to establish application associations between managers and agents. The Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE) is used to frame the information requests and transfers, much as Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) are used on other systems. CMISE applies some additional powerful features to the operations that help further distinguish CMISE from SNMP. The M-GET, M-SET, M-ACTION, and M-DELETE services can be applied to more than one managed object through the application of what are termed scoping, filtering, and synchronization.

17

SCOPING AND FILTERING

Scoping selects objects to be operated upon within the managed object containment tree Scope defined relative to a base managed object: Base object only Nth level subordinate objects only Base object plus all of its subordinates (entire subtree) Filtering permits objects within scope to be selected according to test criteria Operation applied to all selected objects Multiple (Linked) Replies used if more than one object selected
