It defines the service interface that is implemented by the <a href="/facts/Common_Management_Information_Protocol/Q9yV0p5e">Common Management Information Protocol</a> (CMIP) as specified in <a href="http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.711">ITU-T Recommendation X.711, ISO/IEC International Standard 9596-1</a>. CMIS is part of the <a href="/facts/Open_Systems_Interconnection/oxN9Xhjz">Open Systems Interconnection</a> (OSI) body of international network standards. </p><p>Note the term CMIP is sometimes used erroneously when CMIS is intended. CMIS/CMIP is most often used in <a href="/facts/Telecommunications/vxoj1cxR">telecommunications</a> applications, in other areas <a href="/facts/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol/UNYPVA1C">SNMP</a> has become more popular. </p>
