Better Network Management through SNMP
Overview As we move past the middle of the decade, the trend continues away from host-based to client-server systems. It's no secret this operational migration has caused as many new network management problems as it has answered. Intensified requirements come from all directions: more nodes, more uptime, more communications, more flexibility, more shared resource availability, more desktop capabilities, more reliability. More everything except the standards that have seemingly been left behind in the protected environment of the data center. Enter the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) framework of interoperable solutions for managing networks. Designed to monitor and control heterogeneous devices across local and wide area networks, SNMP standards have been widely adopted by product manufacturers and network managers alike. How SNMP can help network management become more efficient in the distributed playing field of the 90s - specifically in regards to protecting your network and the sensitive devices attached to it - is the subject of this paper.
