Abstract

This paper proposed an integrated system for interworking different network management protocols. The interworking system between SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) and CMIP(Common Management Information Protocol) has been designed. We defined new managed object architecture using MOVI(Managed Object View Interface) concept and implemented an extended GDMO(EGDMO) compiler. An access mechanism for consistency control and atomic action on the sharing resources has been defined. Thus, even if a new management protocol would be introduced, new gateway system need not to be redesigned. It can be archived with minimum modification on the view interface of managed objects. As a managed object can support various view interfaces, several network management protocols can directly access it. This approach, therefore, provides some benefits. For instance, manager can access managed objects without additional functions and tools. It, also, could be archived interworking between SNMP and CMIP with minimum modification on the view interface of the managed objects defined previously. It is able to interwork more complicated network management protocols and to increase usefulness of SNMP and CMIP.
