Network Management
Spring 2015
Bahador Bakhshi
CE & IT Department, Amirkabir University of Technology
What This Course Is
You all know what network management is Configure and monitor computer networks So, what are you doing here?
This course: A systematic approach to network management Organize your mind about network management
Who is who? What is what? Why & How?
This is an engineering course You will learn practical technologies & standards
2
What This Course Is Not
A pure scientific/math/theory course If you love complicated theories, proof,
formulations, …, unfortunately, this course is going to be boring for you
Specific network management system class While we will use NM tools in HWs; however, we
don’t focus on specific NM system
Hard to understand concepts Almost all technologies are easy to learn
But, really hard to implement in real network!!
3
Course Advantages
We study and understand technologies that are used in real networks We don’t discuss about pure abstract problems
An engineering course Use these technologies in industry
Better resume: SNMPv1&2&3, FCAPS, eToM, … More job opportunities (more money )
(Usually) Technologies are easier than sciences High course grade if you want
4
Course Possible Disadvantages
We study technologies Technologies have limited life time Our knowledge will expire
Some programming languages & technologies may not be used 10 years later
However, the concepts of NM have very long life time
Network management uses many technologies We need to learn many things Too many slides & book chapters
5
What We Will Learn
Main question: How are large networks (Service provider, Big Enterprise, Telecos) are managed?
To answer this question, we need the answer of Q1) What is the network management? Q2) What is its architecture?
Agents, Protocols, NMS, Organization Q3) What are common NM protocols? Q4) Which functions are performed in NMS? Q5) Which parts of an agent is composed of? Q6) Which processes are performed in network
manager organization?
