Network Management
Network management stems from the realization that hosts, routers,
and other networking devices often require maintenance operations, and
the network is a communications medium, so why not use the network
to perform the maintenance?
The oldest and simplest form of network management is the remote login.
In fact, most fancy routers support TELNET access to some sort of command
prompt. Many operations can be performed in no other way.
However, more sophisticated network management tools have been developed,
for a variety of reasons. Remote logins are designed for human interaction,
and use command style and syntax that varies between different hardware
and software platforms. A more specialized and standardized approach
allows automated software tools to easily perform management operations
on a variety of platforms. Also useful is a standard method of reporting
network failures and error conditions to a centralized location.
For Internet engineers, the
SNMP
Protocol is currently the most popular vehicle for network management.
