This Recommendation | International Standard provides the specification of management information within an Open

System related to those operations of the OSI Network Layer. Specifics on how Network layer management is

accomplished is beyond the scope of this Recommendation | International Standard. Network Layer management

information is defined by specifying:

? the managed object class definition of Network Layer Managed Objects following guidelines put forth by

the Structure of Management Information (see Recommendations X.720-X.724 and ISO/IEC 10165);

? the relationship of the Managed Objects and attributes to both the operation of the layer and to other

objects and attributes of the layer; and

? the action type operations on the attributes of Network Layer Managed Objects that are available to OSI

Systems Management.

Annexes D, E, F and G, which are integral parts of this Recommendation | International Standard, provide ICS

proformas associated with Network Layer management information.
