common management information protocol (CMIP)
Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) is the OSI protocol for message exchange between management facilities in OSI management.
CMIP is an element of international standardization and finds its sphere of action in a hierarchically oriented tree-like management structure. Such a structure should be used from a certain size and complexity of the network for practical reasons.
Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) and Common Management Information Service( CMIS), which together form the protocol standard, enable the exchange of network managementinformation and commands between two peer applications at the same level.
CMIP defines the protocol mechanisms that are standardized under ISO 9596.
Like the Simple Network Management Protocol( SNMP), CMIP is defined in the abstract syntaxASN.1.
