The invention relates to a method and to a communication system for managing a communication network. The aim of the invention is to provide a method with which communication networks can be automatically tested from a superordinate producer-independently managing network management center (NMC), for example at times when subordinate, producer-specific operation and maintenance centers (OMC) are not occupied. To this end, at least one producer-dependent information is transmitted when an alarm report is sent and producer-specific hardware tests are automatically generated in the network management center. The information model of the OMC-NMC interface does not have to be familiar with the producer-specific object classes. The tests automatically generated in the network management center NMC can be triggered specifically, that is when errors of a certain hardware board have occurred, or preventively, for example for the entire hardware of a network unit. |
