Industry Standard Protocols White Papers

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

Overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management specification developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),1 a subsidiary group of the Internet Activities Board (IAB),2 in the mid 1980s to provide standard, simplified, and extensible management of LAN-based internetworking products such as bridges, routers, and wiring concentrators [IETF 96, Henderson 95]. SNMP was designed to reduce the complexity of network management and minimize the amount of resources required to support it. SNMP provides for centralized, robust, interoperable network management, along with the flexibility to allow for the management of vendor-specific information.

Analysis: The network is the security

To minimize malicious-code propagation, every desktop will be scanned for malicious code, patch levels and antivirus signatures before it is granted access to network resources. Look for Check Point to slowly create a direct sales force.

How closely are you monitoring?

Plug an SNMP (simple network management protocol) or RMON (remote monitoring) agent into a node on the network to get an idea of what it's doing, or use network flow analysis to pick up information about what's being sent over the wire.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
