Network Management Entity (NME) Tasks

0 Collect statistics on communications and network-related activities.0 Store statistics locally.0 Respond to commands from the Network Control Center (NCC),

including commands to:1. Transit collected statistics to Network Control Center.2. Change a parameter (e.g., a timer used in a transport protocol).3. Provide status information (e.g., parameter values, active links).4. General artificial traffic to perform a test.

0 Send messages to the NCC when local conditions undergo a significant change.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

0 Network Management Model includes the following:

0 Management Station:* MS serves as the interface for the human network manager into the network management system;* MS has a set of management applications for data analysis, fault recovery, etc.* An interface by which the NW manager may monitor and control the network.* The capability of translating the NW manager’s requirements into the actual monitoring and control of remote elements in the network.* A database of information extracted from the MIBs.

0 Management Agent: Key platforms (hosts, bridges, routers, hubs) may be equipped with SNMP so that they may be managed from a management station.

0 Management Information Base (MIB) is the collection of objects (resources or data variables) that represent aspects of the managed agent.

0 Network Management Protocol is used for linking the management station and agents. It includes the following key capacities: “Get”, “Set”, and “Notify.”

Network Management Protocol Specifications

0 Structure and Identification of Management Information for TCP/IP-Based Networks (RFC 1155): Describes how managed objects contained in the MIB are defined.

0 Management Information Base for Network Management for TCP/IP-Based Networks: MIB-II (RFC 1213): Describes the managed objects contained in the MIB.

0 Simple Network Management Protocol (RFC 1157): Describes the protocol used to manage these objects.
