ITU-T X.792-1999 Configuration Audit Support Function for ITU-T Applications - Series X: Data Networks and Open System Communications OSI Management - Management Functions and ODMA Functions Study Group 4; 21 pp
This Recommendation defines a function intended to support the auditing of the configuration of the
Management Information Base (MIB) in a managed system by one of the managing systems that
interface with it.
The need for this auditing could arise in several situations. For example, a new managing system
may need to obtain the current MIB information in the systems that it manages. Another example is
when a managing system has been out of communication with a managed system for an extended
period of time and the managed system has to be managed by other means.
This Recommendation does not define all the procedures necessq to align the managing and
managed systems. Rather, it defines a support function that allows the manager to obtain the current
view of the managed system's MIB. The support function allows a managing system to request that a
managed system create a file that contains the MIB information. While there are other techniques
that a managing system can use to obtain this information, they are likely to be both slower and to
use more computing and communication resources than the technique defined in this
Recommendation.
This Recommendation defines the way a managing system can request a managed system to create a
file containing the MIB information. It also defines the format of the file. It does not speci@ the way
the file is to be transferred between the managed and managing systems. It does not specifj how the
managing system uses the information in the file once it is transferred.
