Services
The following services are made available by the Common Management Information Service Element (CMISE) to allow management of network elements:
Management operation services
* M-CREATE – Create an instance of a managed object
* M-DELETE – Delete an instance of a managed object
* M-GET – Request managed object attributes (for one object or a set of objects)
* M-CANCEL-GET – Cancel an outstanding GET request
* M-SET – Set managed object attributes
* M-ACTION – Request an action to be performed on a managed object
Management notification services
* M-EVENT-REPORT – Send events occurring on managed objects
Management association services

Information is an abstract concept that refers to that which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level information pertains to the interpretation of that which may be sensed. Any natural process that is not completely random, ...

CMIS initially defined management association services but it was later decided these services could be provided by
ACSE and these services were removed. Below is a list of these services which were subsequently removed from ISO 9595:
* M-INITIALIZE – Creates an association with (i.e. connects to) another CMISE
* M-TERMINATE – Terminates an established connection
* M-ABORT – Terminates the association in the case of an abnormal connection termination
