Publisher's Synopsis
Your source for information on the third generation SNMPv3 If you need to keep up with emerging networking technologies as well as manage a complex network running current technologies this is the reference tool for you. Revised to include the latest information on the improved security features in Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) as well as expanded coverage of Remote Monitoring (RMON) functions, including RMON2 Managing Internetworks with SNMP, 3rd Edition, has everything you need to manage your internetwork with optimal performance and reliability. From the structure of management information (SMI) to underlying Internet Protocols, this comprehensive resource covers the intricacies of the Internet Network Management Framework with illustrations, practical case studies, and clear instructions. Author Mark Miller fits SNMP into the big picture of network management, covering not only the protocol and its three generations, but the supporting structures as well. Written for experienced network managers, this authoritative guide keeps you up–to–date with expert guidance as your network expands. CD–ROM contains IETF documents for SNMP, SNMPv2, SNMPv3, the RMON and RMON2 MIBs, industry standards MIB–I and MIB–II, plus device–specific MIBs Inside, find everything you need to:
- Get an overview of the OSI, IEEE, and Internet network management standards
- Master vendor–specific architectures that support SNMP, including those from Cabletron Systems, Hewlett–Packard, SunSoft, and Tivoli
- Understand the interaction between the manager, agent, and objects in your network
- Improve your network security with the enhancements to the third generation of the protocol SNMPv3
- Learn how managed objects are defined in the Structure Management Information (SMI) using a message description language, Abstract Syntax Notation–One (ASN.1)
- Understand the roles of Management Information Bases (MIBs) with new information about Internet–standard and remote monitoring (RMON) MIBs, including RMON2
- Study lower–layer protocols, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Internet Protocol (IP) as well as the Ethernet or token ring, upon which SNMP operates
- Implement SNMP in the real world with the help of case studies drawn from live networks
- Find additional information about Internet–related parameters in the reference appendices
