AN INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK MANAGEMENT

About This Page

Network management is a large field that is expanding in both users and technology. On UNIX networks the network manager of choice is the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This has gained lots of popularity and is now rapidly spreading into the field of PC networks. On the Internet, Java-based SNMP applications are becoming readily available and Java SNMP dev-kits are freely available.

The purpose of this page is to provide the casual user with an introduction to SNMP, and the more experienced user a good description of other management protocols and how SNMP can be easily explained to newbies to the field (of which I am one).

I hope you find this page interesting and useful. Your comments would be appreciated . I have just made major changes on this page, and your comments would be appreciated.
