GENERIC MANAGED OBJECT MODEL FOR LAN DOMAIN

摘要

An internetwork system has several interlinked computer networks, each network having an associated element manager (16) which is arranged to communicate with a router via a first network management protocol. Each element manager (16) has means for converting from the first network management protocol to a second protocol and also has means for communicating via the network manager (20). The network manager (20) allows a user of the system to control a router by issuing a command at the network manager and/or to view information on the status, configuration and/or performance of the router.
