IntroductionThe Internet is:- a world-wide network of networks- with gateways linking organizations in North andSouth America, and EuropeThe networks all use a common suite of networkingprotocols, Transmission Control Protocol/InternetProtocol (TCP/IP).Slide Number 3ADNET
Introduction (cont’d)As MU-SPIN schools' networks grow in scale, twofacts will become painfully evident: The network and its associated resources becomeindispensable to the organization; and Many things can go wrong, thereby disabling thenetwork or a portion of it, or degradingperformance to an unacceptable level.SNMP is a key Internet StandardSlide Number 4ADNET

NETWORK MANAGEMENT MODEL (cont’d)The agent is responsible for thefollowing duties: collecting and maintaininginformation about itself and its localenvironment; responding to manager commands toalter the local configuration oroperating parameters.Slide Number 6ADNET

SNMP ARCHITECTURE (cont’d)MIB-I was designed to include the minimal numberof managed objects.For an object to be included, it had to meet thesecriteria: -object must be essential for either fault orconfiguration analysis. -control objects must have limited properties.Slide Number 8ADNET
SNMP ARCHITECTURE (cont’d) -the object must have evidenced utility. -to make MIB-I attractive to vendors, a limit wasset to 100 objects. -the object must not be easily derivable from otherobjects. -the object must be sufficiently general in nature .Slide Number 9ADNET
SNMP ARCHITECTURE (cont’d)MIB-I evolved into MIB-II.MIB-II was to maintain compatibility with MIB-I,with three areas to be addressed: incremental additions to reflect new operationalrequirements; improved support for multi-protocol devices; and, textual clean-up to improve clarity. MIB-II's managed object count grew to 171; mostvendors now implement MIB-II.Slide Number 10ADNET
SNMP ARCHITECTURE (cont’d)SNMP messages contain two parts: a community name, along with authenticationinformation and, data, containing an SNMP operation andassociated operands.Slide Number 11ADNET
SNMP FUNCTIONS Get, which is used by a manager to retrieve anitem from an agent's MIB; Set, which is used by a manager to set a valuein an agent's MIB; and Trap, which is used by an agent to send analert to a manager.Slide Number 12ADNET

SNMP Variables sysDescr - A textual description of the entity,including hardware and software version. sysUpTime - The time since the networkmanagement portion of the system was last reinitialized.Slide Number 14ADNET
SNMP Variables Cont’d a command similar to: get rtr-magic public sysDescr sysUpTime yields results similar to:» Name: system.sysDescr.0 OCTET STRING- (ascii): GS Software(GS3-K0, Version 9.1(4) [fc1],SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 1986-1993 byCisco Systems, Inc.

NETWORK MANAGEMENT GOALS AND SNMP1. People in the organization depend on the systembeing reliable; and2. LANs, routers, lines, and other communicationsresources have costs.The ultimate goal to provide:- a consistent, predictable, acceptable level of servicefrom the available network resources.Slide Number 16ADNET
SYSTEM MONITORING ExampleExecute the following command every hour: get rtr-magic public ifInUcastPkts ifInNUcastPktsSlide Number 17ADNET
SYSTEM MONITORING Example (cont’d)Execute the following command every hour; get rtr-magic public ifInErrors ifOutErrors plot output.Slide Number 18ADNET
Fault Detection develop source/destination matrix query MIB variablesSlide Number 19ADNET
Configuration ManagementIs the setting, collecting and storing of :- the state and parameters of network resources.Slide Number 20ADNET
Performance and CostThe goal is to: measure system and component utilization locate bottlenecks.Slide Number 21ADNET
