ABSTRACT: This document presents the Telcordia view of proposed generic requirements for operations interfaces used to manage Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) subnetworks. This document describes a set of information modeling objects needed to support the exchange of ATM subnetwork management information over a generic operations interface. The information model object set described here applies to operations interfaces that expose an ATM Network View for subnetwork management within an administration, including interfaces between a Network Management System and the Element Management Systems managing ATM subnetworks.

This reissue of GR-2897-CORE includes updates that support VP level protection (1+1); inclusion of SVC access interface support in the Network View description of ATM Network View applications for Customer Network Management (CNM) and Intercarrier Management; simplification of ATM Network View interface; and enhancements to ATM Forum Network View object classes in support of simplification and alignment with ATM Forum Logical Management Information Base (MIB).
