<p>A method of managing network elements in a communications network having network elements built on different platforms. The method comprises selecting (202) in data models of the network elements commands for performing a task common across a group of network elements, transforming (204) the selected commands from the data models into a command in a common information model, recording (206) the relationship between a command in said information model and corresponding commands in the data models and presenting (208) to a network engineer a command line interface linked to the commands stored in the information model. A command selected by the network engineer via the command line interface is translated using the stored relationship information into a command from a data model of the target network element.</p> |
