Introduction

•In today’s digital age,


network are the backbone of
our communication and
information system.

•Throughout this
presentation, we’ll explore
topics such as network
architecture, protocols,
security and more.

4
Introduction

•By this of this presentation,


you’ll have a deeper
understanding of what
network management entails
and why it ’s so important in
today’s interconnected
world.

5
What is network management?
•Network management refers to
the process of administrating
and maintaining computer
network.

•Range of activities such as


monitoring, network
performance, configuring
network devices and
troubleshooting network
problems.
6
The purpose of network
management is to ensure that the
networks are functioning
efficiently and effectively.

Effective network management is


essential for organisations of all
sizes, as it helps to reduce costs,
improve productivity and
enhance security.

7
Principles of effective
network management
Effective network management
involves several key principles
such as scalability, security and
reliability.

Scalability: refer to ability of a


network to handled growth and
increase demand without
sacrificing performance

8
Principles of effective
network management
Security: crucial in network
management where it can help
protect against cyber attacks and
unauthorized access to the
sensitive data.

Reliability: ensure network is


available and functioning properly
at all time.

9
Network management tools
•In order to effectively manage a network,
it is important to have the right tools.

•One key tools in network monitoring


software, which allow you to track
network performance metrics such as
bandwidth usage packet loss.
• By analyzing this data, you can identify
potential issues and take steps to
optimize network performance.
10
Network management tools

•Firewall is another example of tools to help protect


your network from unauthorized access and malicious
attacks.
• purpose of firewall is to block certain types of traffic
or restrict access to specific parts of the network.

•Intrusion detection system is also a useful for


identifying and responding to security threats
• This system monitor the network traffic for signs of
suspicious activity and can alert administrator when
potential threats are detected.
11
Network architecture
• In client server architecture,
server provides resources and
services to multiple clients
which access these resources
over the network.
• Commonly used in enterprise
networks and allows for
centralized management and
control

12
Network architecture
• In peer-to-peer architecture, all
devices are equal and can act as
both clients and servers
• Commonly used in small
network, such a home
network
• Offer greater flexibility and
decentralizations
• Can be difficult to manage
and secure
13
Network protocols
• Network protocol are the
backbone of network
management, enabling
communication between
devices and ensuring data
is transmitted efficiently.

• Different types of
protocols has their own
specific functions
14
Network protocols
• Protocols are used to
perform various of tasks
such as routing traffic,
establishing connection
and transmitting data

15
Network Security
• With the growing number of
security threats such as viruses and
hackers. It is important to take
measure to protect against them.
• One way to do it is by implementing
firewall and IDS so that it can
detect and prevent unauthorized
access to your network.
• Encryption is one of the way to
protect sensitive data from being
intercepted by unauthorized users.

16
Network Security

It is also important to educate


employees about the importance
of network security and how the
can protect the network.

17
Network
Performance
optimization
•Important aspect of effective
network management
•Monitoring network traffic allow to
identify bottleneck, network
administrator administrator can
implement techniques such as
caching to improve network
performance
•one of the most important
techniques used to optimize network
performance in Quality of Services
(QoS) 18
Network
Troubleshooting
•Troubleshooting also is one of the
key components in effective network
management
•One common techniques used to
troubleshoot network is ping, which
sends small packet of data to
specific IP address and measure the
time it takes to response to returned
•Traceroute is shows the path that
packet take through the network
helping to identify where the
problem may be occurring
19
Network management best
practices
•Regular back-up, software updates and user
education are essential best practice for
effective network management
•Regular backup prevents event disaster such
as hardware failure or cybers attack, critical
data can be recovered.
•Software updates help to keep the network
secure by patching vulnerabilities that could
be exploited by hacker
•User education is important because human
error is one of the biggest practice such as
strong password and recognizing scams,
organization can reduce the risk of successful
attack.
20
Network Monitoring

• Collection and analysis data from


various network devices to identify
issues and ensure optimal
performance
• Several techniques that can be used
for network monitoring such as
Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP)

21
Network Monitoring

• SNMP allows network administrator


to monitor and manage network
devices such as router and switch
• NetFlow provides detailed
information about the network traffic
including its source and destination,
the amount data transferred and the
type of traffic.

22
Network Topology
• Refer to physical or digital layout
of a network
• Determine how devices are
connected and how data is
transmitted between them
• Types of network topologies;
• Star topology
• Bus topology
• Ring topology
• Tree topology
23
Network Administrator
• Responsible for wide range of tasks including
user management, software updates and
system backups.
• They must ensure that the network is secure
and that all devices are properly configured.
• Responsibility of network administrator:-
• Managing user counts
• Assigning permission
• Ensuring user have access to the resource
they need
• Monitor user activity to detect any
potential security threats or policy
violation
