the Structure of Management Information (see Recommendations X.720-X.724 and ISO/IEC 10165);
? the relationship of the Managed Objects and attributes to both the operation of the layer and to other
objects and attributes of the layer; and
? the action type operations on the attributes of Network Layer Managed Objects that are available to OSI
Systems Management.
Annexes D, E, F and G, which are integral parts of this Recommendation | International Standard, provide ICS
proformas associated with Network Layer management information.
