Abstract
A technique for dynamically translating network management primitives into operations on management information stored within a relational database hosting a management information base. A CMIP network management operation and argument is retrieved from a network management processing machine and processed by a full or partial OSI stack. The CMIP operation is examined to ascertain a type of network management operation. If the operation is of a type which interacts with the database, a database query is generated in accordance with the operation type, to perform the network management operation on the relational database.
