Abstract
A system and method for establishing and maintaining a management information database is described. Upon power-up and self-discovery, a network element sends a management information notification message to the network management system identifying the managed network resources that are contained within the network element. The network management system uses the management information notification messages to update the management information database. The network management system can also subscribe to subsequent management information notification messages from the network element.
