LogicalLink.

A logical link connects two logical ports. It doesn't contain information about the intermediate nodes and links in the path connecting the two end points of the connection object. For example, FrameRelay PVCs and ATM VPCs and VCCs are modelled as logical links.

In general, all these objects have an alarm state and an operational state. The TA developer must define rules in order to model the network technology within the INMS data model, as well as rules to assess the alarm and operational states of the network components supported by the new network technology. A prerequisite to develop a reasonable technology adapter is that the network technology to be integrated provides MIB objects for:
