Vocabulary

Network Management System (NMS)
 Consisting

Management Station
 Managing

of applications
device - management software (NMS)
Management Agent
 Managed
device – computer, hub, router, or switch

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

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
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 powereddown 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
