(
Guidelines for
Definition of
Managed
Objects) The rules for defining the objects in a local network, including workstations, servers and switches. Using CMIP and TMN protocols and standards, the descriptions are stored in network management databases (see
CMIP,
TMN and
MIB). GDMO provides a strict inheritance hierarchy for object classes and a tree structure for object names. ASN.1 is used for syntax. See
ASN.1.
