NMS LAB2 EXPENSES Software Hardware and OS for software Training Extra usage of work time (active use of SNMP - software etc.) New SNMP enabled Devices ?? if needed All most all recent manageable switches / routers support SNMP v1-2c, Some support SNMP V3
LAB2 SOFTWARE Many users, either web based or a client MUST for a big network (help desk can have read only access to software) Reduce of costs Better availability for network Usually your network is not used 24h/day If you have online shop / order system with international users (Different time zone) then you might need 24h uptime
LAB2 AVAILIBILITY SNMP -monitoring only affects to the time to detect faults ONLY If you have redundant fans / power supplies / network devices then monitoring can prevent downtime
LAB3 Same network setup as lab2 SNMP trap supports needs an additional command Snmp-server host uuu.xxx.yyy.zzz traps public Snmp-server enable traps snmp SNMPc -program Remember to check SNMP communities Both read & Write (choose router-> right click -> properties) Additional network analyzer software (Ethereal) Check ethereal settings (Next slides) Use display Filter
