GDMO
Encyclopedia
The Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects (GDMO) is a specification for defining managed object
s of interest to the Telecommunications Management Network
for use in CMIP.
GDMO is similar to the Structure of Management Information
for defining a management information base
for SNMP
. For example, both represent a hierarchy of managed objects and use ASN.1
for syntax.
GDMO is defined in ISO/IEC 10165 and ITU-T
X.722.
Managed object
In telecommunication, the term managed object has the following meanings:1. In a network, an abstract representation of network resources that are managed. With "representation", we mean not the actual device that is managed, but also the device driver, that communicates with the device...

Telecommunications Management Network
The Telecommunications Management Network is a protocol model defined by ITU-T for managing open systems in a communications network. It is part of the ITU-T Recommendation series M.3000 and is based on the OSI management specifications in ITU-T Recommendation series X.700.TMN provides a framework...

Management information base
A management information base is a virtual database used for managing the entities in a communications network. Most often associated with the Simple Network Management Protocol , the term is also used more generically in contexts such as in OSI/ISO Network management model...

Simple Network Management Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol is an "Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more." It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor...

Data generated at various sources of observation need to be transmitted to one or more locations that process it to generate useful results. For example, voluminous signal data collected by a radio telescope from outer space. The system recording the data and the system processing it later may be...
