MANAGING NETWORK COMPONENTS USING SNMP

This paper is to be given an overview for the implementation of a Network Monitoring System to monitor the network resources using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). It consists of manager, agent and managed services. The manager responsibility is to monitor the agents. The agents are software that manage all the network devices and send the details report about the managed objects to the manager. The agent should manage each network device based on the feedback received from the manager. It is an integrated part of the network infrastructure enables the local administrator to perform real-time monitoring on a big network. It helps the administrator to keep up his job more challenges. There are many problems are faced by the network administrator during the manual monitoring of the whole network such as concerned with the performance, analyses and controls of various components of the network. It is very difficult to identify the problems by the administrator. This paper describes the process of SNMP and implementation in network.
