Abstract
In the paper we identify the needs in efficient management of distributed networks and some problematic areas in the field. Then we introduce Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) to address the problem of providing a unified way to model all kinds of managed elements in a single information model in heterogeneous network environments. The advantages brought about by the use of WBEM in network management solve some critical problems existing in current network management. Based on the brief description of components of WBEM, we discuss in depth the basic WBEM instrumentation and multi-tiered WBEM enabled management infrastructure. We also apply this multi-tiered management infrastructure to a network management application scenario to monitor network activities for unexpected behaviors.
