Abstract
This paper describes the essential specification and design of a CMIP-SNMPv2 application gateway for network management integration and interoperability. Such a intermediate proxy software device allows management of Internet MIB-II objects through ISO/CCITT manager supporting CMIP protocol and CMIS management services. All the gateway functionality are explained using dataflow diagrams. CMIP indication PDUs are transformed into functionally corresponding SNMPv2 PDUs. Detailed service-mapping and name-mapping aspects consistent with the protocols. Internet MIB-II and the GDMO MIB are fully explored. SNMPv2 to CMIP inverse mapping is also explained in detail, followed by conclusions capturing the salient aspects of this design.

Keywords: CMIS; MIB; Interworking.
