Abstract：Automatic Switched Optical Network(ASON) is the key technology for the next generation optical network, and the recommendations for ASON are also developed by ITU-T, but for management plane, the related recommendations have not been constituted. In this paper, the management information mode for network layer and control plane resources are proposed based on the requirements for ASON network management. The managed object model of network layer resource could be used for the end-to-end connections management in multi-domain networks. The model for the control plane could be used for the management of control Network Elements (NEs) and control channels, this model could also be used for route areas division in control plane and configuring and performance inspecting for the control modules in the control NEs.
