Abstract
In a network Fault Management (FM) model, network equipment (160) maintains a ManagedElement object (12). The ManagedElement object contains one or more ManagedFunction objects (14, 22, 24, 26) with each ManagedFunction object (16) comprising an FMControl object specifying the capabilities of the ManagedFunction objects to produce, report, and log fault reports, a Fault Type List object (18) listing the various types of faults the ManagedFunction object can detect, report, and log, and a currentFaultList object (20) listing the current faults and associated fault information. The FMControl object further includes several attributes that are set by a Management System (30) to control the reading of fault reports as well as the sending of the fault reports to other interested network nodes (190).
