Research On Distributed Network Management Of Web Based On SNMP

SNMP plays an important part in network management. But because the traditional SNMP software which is of the type of centralized management is based on the C/S structure, it is not convenient for the network management. With the development of the network, the scale and the complexity of network increase continuously. So a new kind of management system must be brought forward to meet the need of network management. The technology of Web can resolve the problem easily. The network management which combines the technology of Web and SNMP allows managers to administrate their network via WWW. The manager can use any form of Web Browser to perform the fast configuration and the control of any part of the network at any computer as he likes. WBM(Web-based Management) is a reform of network management. It helps the managers to administrate their network more easily.This thesis discusses the traditional SNMP management model based on the detailed analysis of SNMP protocol, and points out the shortage of management. Then by the combination of the Web technology and the SNMP network management technology using agent technique, a new distributed management model SWNMS based on the B/S structure which is more convenient for the network is brought forward. Also the implementation of this model is discussed in detail.The model realizes the discovery of network topology, and it has the function of network management. It is a distributed network management system of web based on SNMP and it realizes configuration management, performance management and fault management and so on. At the last of the thesis, some questions that need to be studied further have been brought forward, such as the combination with CORBA and mobile Agent. The thesis also points out the good developing prospect of the model.
