Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and Implementation
Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and ImplementationStephen MorrisEfficiently manage large, complex, multi-service networksProposes solutions to difficult network management problemsUses practical examples in Java and C++Covers both enterprise and service provider networksCost-efficiently manage and troubleshoot your MPLS network with SNMP!In today's business world, it is crucial to be able to manage large, complex networks in an efficient and cost-effective manner.Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and Implementationmakes such management possible. Widely-experienced engineer and network management specialist Stephen Morris discusses how, the skillful use of MIBs (management information bases) and network management system (NMS) technology, can be used to help solve some of the management problems associated with running large footprint enterprise and service provider networks. These problems include issues of wide technology mix (ATM, FR, Ethernet, IP, MPLS etc.), the increasing need for real time IP traffic, the need for strong security, scalability (the latter is possibly the biggest single problem facing network managers).With examples in both Java and C++, this book covers SNMPv3, network management software components, IP routing, MPLS and much more. Coverage includes:In-depth analysis of SNMP, the de facto network management standardScalability solutions using special MIB features, NMS and MPLSHP's Openview Network Node ManagerNetwork management server componentsNMS software componentsCase studies in MPLS network management using the IETF MPLS MIBsThe theory and practice of network managementNumerous reference appendices featuring over 20 pages of C++ and Java source code designed to clearly illustrate the rudimentary structure of an NMSFor networking professionals, network managers, MIB authors and anyone associated with programming for large-scale networks,Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and Implementationis a vital handbook.
