Web–Based Management of IP Networks and Systems

This book provides a wealth of ideas for designers and programmers of management applications and instrumentation. It is also a terrific resource for administrators and students. I definitely recommend it!"
Andrea Westerinen, Cisco Systems, VP of Technology of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)
In Web–Based Management of IP Networks & Systems, the author makes an in–depth analysis of the technical advantages of using Web technologies, notably XML, in network and systems management. He describes a new management architecture, WIMA (Web–based Integrated Management Architecture), which leverages both the IETF’s
SNMP MIBs and the DMTF’s CIM schemas. He challenges traditional SNMP–based management solutions and demonstrates that Web–based management is not only trendy but also makes technical sense.
Main features:
• Highlights problems associated with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
• Presents and discusses engineering trade–offs.
• Proposes a new distributed management architecture (WIMA).
• Describes a research prototype (JAMAP) demonstrating the feasibility and simplicity of this architecture.
This book is a goldmine of practical hints and tips based on the author′s extensive industrial experience. It is primarily aimed at engineers designing and writing management applications, administrators, and graduate students.
