1 Overview of Network Management

2 Outline Describe responsibilities of a network manager Define network management vocabulary Discuss network management principles Provide an example of network management implementation Identify new network management approaches The evolution of network management

3 Common Network Problems Loss of connectivity (Link, Node, Interface) Duplicate IP address (Procedural) Intermittent ( 間歇的 ) problems Network configuration issues Performance problems

4 Network Management (NM) Goal  To ensure that network users receive IT services with the quality of service (QoS) that they expect Maintenance  Network performance  Failures (hardware and software)  Network capacity  Security Certifications  CAN (Novell ’ s Certified Netware Administrator)  MCP (Microsoft ’ s Certified Professional)  CNE (Novell ’ s Certified Netware Engineer)  MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineer)

6 Network-Based Management SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol (RFC1157) MIBs: Management Information Base NMS: Network management system RMON1: Remote Monitor (RMON1) RFCs: Request for Comments IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force

7 Network Management Vocabulary Network Management System (NMS)  Consisting of applications Management Station  Managing device - management software (NMS) Management Agent  Managed device – computer, hub, router, or switch Management Agent Management Station NMS

8 Network Management Vocabulary (cont.) Mgmt (Management) process  Service management application programs  Provide an interface to the network management protocol, e.g, SNMP Agent process  An integrator of processes that access information requested by a network management application  An interface to the network management protocol  Collect the values of a specified set of variables when a request is made by the Management Station  The virtual store of such values is called the Management Information Base (MIB), actually maintained by the managed device Transport Presentation Data Link Session Network Physical Agent Process Agent Protocol Management Agent Figure 2-2: Protocol Stacks on the Management Station and the Management Agent Presentation Transport Data Link Session Network Physical Mgmt Process Mgmt Protocol Management Station Mgmt App

9 A Network Management Example The management application calls for the service of the management process The management process calls the program that implements the network management protocol, e.g., SNMP The network management protocol implementation constructs a request packet, which is sent to the management agent The implementation of the network management protocol on the management agent causes the request packet to be passed to the agent process The agent process accesses the value of the requested variable and passes it to the implementation of the network management protocol The network management protocol constructs the response packet, which is sent to the management station The implementation of the network management protocol at the management station receives the response packet and passes it to the management process The management process either passes the value to the application program, or stores it in memory for later retrieval

10 Network Management Vocabulary (cont.) Trap  The management agent send unsolicited messages to the management station  E.g., a device goes from powered-up to the powered- down state Probe (remote monitors, RMON)  Monitor traffic on the network segment, not a particular device  The management agent thus is remote from the devices it is monitoring
