Common Management Information Service
In telecommunication, a Common management information service (CMIS) is a service that specifies the service interface to the Common management information protocol (CMIP).
Services
The following services are made available by the Common Management Information Service Element (CMISE)
Management Operation Services
- M-CREATE - Create an instance of a managed object
- M-DELETE - Delete an instance of a managed object
- M-GET - Request managed object attributes
- M-CANCEL-GET - Cancel an outstanding GET request
- M-SET - Set managed object attributes
- M-ACTION - Request an action to be performed on a managed object
Management Notification Services
- M-EVENT-REPORT - Send events occuring on managed objects
Management Association Services
To transfer management information between open systems using CMIS/CMIP, peer connections, i.e., associations, must be established. This requires the establishment of an Application layer association, a Session layer connection, a Transport layer connection, and, depending on supporting communications technology, Network layer and Link layer connections.
CMIS initially defined management association services but it was later decided these services could be provided by ACSE and these services were removed. Below is a list of these services which were subsequently removed from ISO 9595:
- M-INITIALIZE - Creates an association with (i.e. connects to) another CMISE
- M-TERMINATE - Terminates an established connection
- M-ABORT - Terminates the association in the case of an abnormal connection termination
