A Design of Dynamic Network Management System

Abstract

With the increasing expansion of network scale, users consume much cost for network that is composed of various network environments. In this paper, we propose a dynamic network management system employing the management program actively generating facilities in order to reduce the cost and time of system development. The proposed system consists of basic components for real time network management and Automatic Generation Technique of Network Components (AG-NC) in order to actively support information generation for network management objects through these basic components. The basic components includes configuration management, performance management, and fault management. AG-NC includes NE Basic Info Handler, MIB Handler, Template Handler, and Operation Handler. This system is able to generate a network management program with SNMP manager using the information of network objects. Our system actively generates network objects in an automatic manner instead of the manual manner of the existing systems. Finally, we can make the network structure expansion because the development time and cost of the network management program can be reduced dramatically through our system.
