Introduction
• Telecommunications Management Network (TMN)
defines
– an architecture that allows exchange of management
information using standard interfaces
– a management network that interfaces with
telecommunications equipment to control its operations
– a management platform for network AND service
management
• TMN is an ITU-T network management standards
– based largely on the OSI Management Framework
TMN History
• CCITT (now ITU-T) started the TMN project in fall
1985
• Initial Recommendation CCITT M.30 was a result
of work from several Study Groups (SG)
– Published in 1988
• Renamed to Recommendation M.3010 in 1992
– Defines basic principles for TMN
Recommendation M.3010
• The Recommendation M.3010 defines the
general architectural requirements for a TMN
• TMN goal
– Support the management requirements of
administration (i.e. network operator) to plan,
provision, install, maintain, operate and
administer telecommunication networks and
services
TMN Functional Architecture
• The functional architecture describes the
functionality of a TMN
• Distinction must be made between
– Role that a function performs (controlling, mediator
role, management user oriented, information
transport)
– Actual function that is performed (configuration
management, fault management, etc.)
• Recommendation M.3010 concentrates on roles
whereas M.3400 deals with functions
