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.
