Internet Network Management
  • Also referred to as SNMP-based Network Management
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is
    often referred to as the Internet Network
    Management Framework which includes
  • management architecture
  • structure of management information
  • management protocol
  • plus related concepts...
  • Most widely used in computer communication
    networks
  • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is
    responsible for SNMP standardization

4
Origins of Internet
  • ARPANET (formed by US DoD, 1969) connecting four
    geographically separated computers in US
  • 23 computers in ARPANET (1971)
  • Computers in UK and Norway were connected (1973)
  • TCP/IP protocol suite as ARPANETs standard
    protocol (late 70s)
  • TCP/IP as NFSNETs standard protocol (1984)
  • Continued growth throughout the 80s and 90s
  • currently more than 40,000,000 nodes on the
    Internet
  • Need for the management of rapidly growing
    Internet!

5
Origins of Internet NM
  • Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
  • until late 70s, e.g., Ping utility
  • Simple Gateway Monitoring Protocol (SGMP) - 1987
  • High-level Entity Management System (HEMS)
  • generalized version of Host Monitoring Protocol
    (HMP)
  • SNMP
  • enhanced version of SGMP
  • an interim solution
  • CMIP over TCP/IP (CMOT)
  • long-term solution
  • did not go very far

6
Evolution of SNMP
  • SNMPv1
  • draft came out in 1988 and became full Internet
    standard in 1990
  • most workstations, bridges, routers, switches and
    hubs are now equipped with SNMP agent
  • many resource MIBs (including systems
    applications) have been defined
  • RMON (1995)
  • Remote Monitoring, extends the SNMPv1 MIB and
    functions
  • SNMPv2
  • attempted to improve the deficiencies of SNMPv1
  • Full Internet Standard
  • SNMPv3
  • internet drafts came out in Feb. 1998, adding
    security features
  • now a full Internet Standard

7
IETF Standardization Process (RFC2026)http//www.
ietf.org/rfc/rfc2026.txt
  • IETF forms a working group (WG) for a specific
    task
  • WG generates one or more internet drafts (ID)
  • ID document can follow one of three tracks
  • (1) standards track, (2) informational, (3)
    experimental
  • Internet documents are published as RFCs
  • Internet Proposed Standard
  • Internet Draft Standard
  • Internet Full Standard
  • Other status
  • Obsolete a document that is replaced by an
    updated version
  • Historic a document that is retired
  • The latest status on IETF NM RFCs can be found
    from http//wwwsnmp.cs.utwente.nl/ietf/rfcs/rfcbys
    tatus.html

SNMP NM Architecture
  • The manager resides in Network Management Station
    (NMS) while the agent resides in the managed
    Network Node
  • The manager requests the agent to perform Set and
    Get operations on the variables in the Management
    information Base (MIB)
  • By means of traps the agent occasionally notifies
    the manager about some events related to network
    operation
