The Research And Implementation Of Network Management Mechanism Based On Web And XML

With the rapid development of the network technology, the position of network management is more and more important. The maturity of Web technology and the flourishing development of XML have brought a new revolution to network management technology and mode. It is a kind of ideal solution of applying XML and Web technology to network management.This thesis analyzes the basic theory and the model of network management, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and discusses the application of XML in the network management. On the basis of network management on Web, combining with XML, this thesis brings forward a concrete solution--the network management based on Web and XML.This solution is the extension of the network management conceptual model based on Web, which divides the network management server in the conceptual model into the fore-platform server and the back-platform server. The fore-platform server realizes the management of user interface, receive user request, respond it etc. The back-platform server is responsible for obtaining data information through communicating with resources supervised, and realizes the functions such as MIB browser, data collection network topological module, node finding, event handling and data management etc. on the basis of this. This division mechanism disperses the task quantities of network management to the fore-platform server and the back-platform server. When the scale of network system extended, this mechanism can improve the performance of management effectively. Besides, the fore-platform server and the back-platform server are independent relatively, so the management system of network can be extended conveniently when increasing the scale of the network system.In addition, the data exchange between different function module has been adopted XML in this thesis. This thesis use XML Enabled database and XML documents to store network management data and use XML to publish information. This method is convenient for system expanding and interchanging between heterogeneous network management systems.According to the practical application, adopting XML to describe, issue, exchange and share the network management data is a kind of effective method in network managementFinally, during the research of network management system, combining the XML and Web technology, the author has realized the main function modules in part of the network management system based on Web and XML.
