SNMP Network Management Concepts

Your Business Communications Manager network uses several hardware devices and various

software applications. Network management software provides the ability to exercise control over

the network devices.

Refer to the following descriptions:

• “Network management communication protocols” on page 34

• “SNMP network structure” on page 34

Network management communication protocols

The SNMP, HTTP, Telnet, and FTP protocols are fundamental to management of a network of

Business Communications Managers.

• SNMP (simple network management protocol): SNMP is application-layer software that

allows you to communicate with and control devices in your network.

• HTTP (hypertext transport protocol): HTTP is a communications protocol that allows users to

establish a connection with a Web server and transmit HTML pages to a client browser. BCM

is a web-server. HTTP also allows transmission of other files required by an HTTP

application.

• Telnet: Telnet is a terminal emulation communications protocol used on the Internet and TCP/

IP-based networks. Telnet allows a network administrator or user to use a local workstation to

log onto a remote computer and run a program. Telnet is part of the TCP/IP protocol.

• FTP (file transfer protocol): FTP is a protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network

(Internet, Unix). FTP allows you to log onto the network, list directories, and copy files from

other workstations/servers. FTP operations are performed by typing commands at a command

prompt or through an FTP utility running under a graphical user interface (GUI).

SNMP network structure

Network management objectives for the Business Communications Manager are based upon the

FCAPS network management model (fault, configuration, administration, performance, security).

To accomplish these objectives, the Business Communications Manager must have the ability to

provide appropriate feedback to the network administrator.

Network administrators use SNMP data to manage network performance, find and solve network

problems and plan for network expansion (see Network Administration Objectives on page 29).

The Business Communications Manager network management system is composed of the

following:

1 2 ... 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ... 487 488
