Common management information service

In telecommunication, a Common management information service (CMIS) is a service that specifies the service interface to the Common management information protocol (CMIP).

Note: To transfer management information between open systems using CMIS/CMIP, peer connections, i.e., associations, must be established. This requires the establishment of an Application layer association, a Session layer connection, a Transport layer connection, and, depending on supporting communications technology, Network layer and Link layer connections.
