Design and Implementation of Management Information Base (MIB) Tester for TMN
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a design and an implementation of a MIB tester, a conformance test tool of Management Information Base (MIB) for TMN. A remote test method is used as a practical test configuration. We classify test purposes into three; basic interconnection test, capability test and behaviour test. Test items for the capability test are defined according to Managed Object Conformance Statement (MOCS) and Managed Relationship Conformance Statement (MRCS). Test items for the behaviour test is defined according to GDMO BEHAVIOUR clause. The MIB tester automatically generates test scenarios for capability tests, which are also used as those for the basic interconnection test, and supports the scenario creation of the behaviour test in an user-friendly manner. We evaluate the implemented MIB tester through its application to the actual TMN agents. key words: TMN, OSI management, conformance test, MIB, GDMO

We show the practical solution to the scope of testing by conducting the capability test to all test cases and the behaviour test l...
متن کاملNew Design Schemes for Lightweight TMN Mediation Device/Q3 Adapter
This paper describes new design schemes of telecommunication network management (TMN) agent for man machine language (MML)-managed network elements (NEs), especially for ATM networks. Most of currently developed ATM switches have simple MML interfaces for local operator crafts. This means that most operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) functions reside within the NE ...

متن کاملManaging the TMN
Metamanagement provides a means to manage the management processes, systems and software comprising a TMN system. In this paper we present the basic requirements of metamanagement, the design and implementation of these TMN metamanagement extensions. The OSI Directory Service is used to store information about the TMN resources, CMIS/CMIP is the basic management service/protocol, and FTAM is us...
