Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — Structure of management information: Systems management application layer managed objects — Part 9:

This Recommendation | International Standard defines systems management protocol machine managed objects, thus

allowing the use of the Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP), as defined in ITU-T Rec. X.711 |

ISO/IEC 9596-1, to manage CMISE and SMASE application service elements and invocations.

This Recommendation | International Standard:

? establishes a model for supporting systems management application service elements;

? provides generic and formal definitions for supporting systems management application service element

managed objects.

This Recommendation | International Standard does not:

? define new management functions;

? specify a framework or methodology for conformance tests.

In the context of this Recommendation | International Standard, the term systems management is used to refer to

SMASE, CMISE, and ROSE.
