12.1 What is Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA?

Cisco MGM GateWay is an architectural component that provides northbound EMS-to-NMS interface

mediation. Cisco MGM GateWay allows service providers to integrate Cisco MGM with their OSSs by

using open standard interfaces.

Note Cisco offers the CORBA (sold separately) option for Cisco MGM GateWay.

The Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA option is a CORBA-based interface that provides higher-layer

management systems with fault, and inventory information for each NE that Cisco MGM manages. The

Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA option is based on the TeleManagement Forum (TMF) standards for the

NMS-to-EMS interface. Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA supports up to eight simultaneous sessions with

higher-layer management systems.

Note For more information about Cisco MGM GateWay/CORBA, including how to enable username and
