Scope
This Recommendation / International Standard defines a Systems Management Function that may be used by an application process in a centralized or decentralized management environment to interact for the purpose of systems management, as defined by CCITT Rec. X.700 / ISO/IEC 7498-4. This Recommendation / Intern ational Standard defines a function which consists of generic difinitions, services and functional units. This function is positioned in the application layer of the OSI reference model (CCITT Rec. X.200 / ISO 7498) and is defined according to the model provided by ISO/IEC 9545. The role of systems management functions is described by CCITT Rec. X.701 / ISO/IEC 10040. The alarm notifications defined by this function provide information that a manager may need to act upon pertaining to a system's operational condition and quality of service.
This Recommendation / International Standard - establishes user requirements for the alarm reporting function; - establishes a model that relates the service and generic definitions provided by this function to user requirements; - defines the service provided by the function; - defines generic notification types and parameters documented in accordance with CCITT Rec. X.722 / ISO/IEC 10165-4; - specifies the protocol that is necessary in order to provide the service; - specifies the abstract syntax necessary to identify and negotiate the functional unit in protocol; - defines the relationship between this service and SMI notifications; - specifies compliance requirements placed on other standards that make use of these generic definitions; - defines relationships with other systems management functions; - specifies conformance requirements.
This Recommendation / International Standard does not - define the nature of any implementation intended to provide the Alarm Reporting function; - specify the manner in which management is accomplished by the user of the Alarm Reporting function; - define the nature of any interactions which result in the use of the Alarm Reporting function; - specify the services necessary for the establishment, normal an d abnormal release of a management association; - preclude the definition of further notification types; - define managed objects.
