SNMP

Management Information Base (MIB)


Virtual Information Store of MOs Information are stored at MOs using different approaches MIB II added a number of useful variables

Structure of Management Information (SMI)


Framework for the Definition of SNMP MIBs Object Information Model for Network Management Formal Description of the Structure are Given Using a Subset of ASN.1

Abstract Syntax Notation 1 (ASN.1)


A Standard Object Definition Language A Standard Way to Encode Objects for Transfer Over a Network Its Large,Complex,and not Especially Efficient

15

SNMP Versions

SNMP v1
Designed to be an interim solution No security consideration Not efficient

SNMP v2
Authentication of the Message Source Protecting Messages from Disclosure Placing Access Control on MIBs Multiple Request Problem solved Traps Have the Same Format as Other PDUs 2 New Operations Much Layers and More Complex

SNMP v3
Built Upon the Two First Versions of SNMP Additional Security and Administrative Capabilities

TMN

An Important Framework for Management of Telecommunication Networks A Host of Management Functions and Communications
Operation Administration Maintenance Provision

Chosen By Telcos for Managing WANs Enables Communication between Operations System(OSs) and Network Elements(NEs) Via a Data Communications Network(DCN)

Base for ATM network management
