Branch Intelligent Management System

The network management is becoming more and more important with the comprehensive application of TCP/IP. We always use traditional methods, such as Simple Network Management Protocol, to manage the devices which connect with internet. It has met the users'requirements in a long time and with a high degree. But it also has defects that cannot be ignored.The IP address of devices is the key factor for traditional network management. When it is in unstable status, there will be some problems with network management. We all yearn for new means which can solve those problems.Based on analysis of defects in current management, the paper puts forward a management mode that called Branch Intelligent Management System (BIMS), with which the devices can visit the servers actively. BIMS finds a solution to unstable IP address and is a valid complement of traditional network management. It makes inter-messages with SOAP, which are used between devices and servers, transmitted by HTTP. BIMS successfully breaks through the limitation of NAT gateway, actively manages the configuration files and software files in the devices.In my paper, I firstly introduce current status of network management, then present some theories of the basic technologies and the protocol of TR-069 related with BIMS. I also specify the secure methods used in BIMS. Finally, I present the inter-flows between devices and servers, the framework of BIMS in devices, and especially the implement of the secure methods.
