OVERVIEW
› Global Prospective
› Two Leading Models

3
ISO Generalized Model
› It address all aspects of network management
› Three models were discussed
– Organization, Information and Communication that manages
Networks, Systems and Services
› 4th model (Functional model)
– Fault, Configuration, Performance, Security and Accounting
› ASN.1 formal language and data structure
– For storage and communication of management information

4
Global Prospective
› Three areas of network needs managing
– Inter-layer Protocols
– Intra-layer Protocols
– Network, Systems and Services
› Our focus will be on
– Network Management: Management of network comprising of
Nodes and Links
– System Management: Managing system resource such as CPU,
Disk Usage and Application process.
– Service Management: Services provided to customers by the
organization.
5
Two Leading Models (Internet & OSI)
› Internet Model
– Simple scalar model
– Easy to implement
› OSI Model
– Object oriented
– Complex
– Harder to implement
› But OSI is used
– Mature state of object oriented technology
– Convergence of data communication and telecommunication
technologies.
– Addresses services and businesses aspects 6
NETWORK › OSI/CMIP
MANAGEMENT › Internet/SNMP
STANDARDS
Four basic standards and
› TMN
5th emerging technologies
› IEEE LAN/MAN
› Emerging Technologies

7
OSI/CMIP Standard
› Adopted by ISO
› CMIP: Common Management Information Protocol
– It has CMIS (Common Management Information Service)
– CMIS is most comprehensive set of specifications and address all
seven layers of OSI model.
– Its specifications are object oriented, hence manage objects, class
and inheritance rules.
– It also address network management application.
– Extensively used in internet.
– Drawbacks:
› Complex and stack is large
8
SNMP/Internet Standard
› Adopted by IETF
› Started as Industrial Standard and become a standard
specification for standard organization
› SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol
– Primarily intended for management of internet components
– Currently adopted for WAN and telecommunication systems
– Easy to Implement and most widely used

9
TMN Standard
› Adopted by ITU-T
› Designed for management of telecom networks
› Based on OSI network management framework
› It extends the concept of management beyond the
managing networks and network components
› Address both network and administrative aspects of
management
› eTOM industry standard for business processes for the
implementing TMN using NGOSS framework.
› TNM is the bottom-up as eTOM is top-down approach 10
IEEE Standard
› Adopted Internationally
› Concerned with OSI layer I & II
› Both OSI/CMIP & SNMP/Internet use IEEE standard for lower
layer
› IEEE 802.1 defines overview, architecture and management
› IEEE 802.2 defines (LLC) provides transparency for various
physical media and protocols to the network layer
› IEEE 802.3 defines for Ethernet LANs.

11
Emerging Technologies (1)
› Web Technology (Web-based management)
– Uses Web-Sever and Web-Browser architecture
– Influence by object-oriented, hypermedia server, CORBA-oriented
and Client-Server architectures.
› WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management)
– Developed by DMTF (Desktop Management Task Force)
– Based on CIM data model using CIM Operation over HTTP
› JMX (Java Management Extension)
– Open Java technology
– developed under Sun Microsystem’s JMAPI (Java Management API)
initiative.
– It defines management architectures, application programming
interfaces (APIs) and management services.
12
Emerging Technologies (2)
› XML (Meta-Markup Language)
– Standardized by Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) for document
exchange in Web.
– Defines methods to exchange data in the form of XML document
– Also define XML-document processing standard method for data
processing
› CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)
– Object-oriented client-server model
– Object define using IDL (Interface Description Language) using
distributed managed object architecture.
› Web-based management system
– It uses object-oriented approach and also removes the dedicated
workstation constraint, by the use of Web browser.

NETWORK › OSI Architecture Classification
MANAGEMENT › Organization Model
MODEL
› Information Model
› Communication Model
› Functional Model

14
OSI Network Management Architectural Model
› ISO standard and most complete of all models
› It address all aspects of network management
› It’s parts are applicable to other models
› It helps to understand the complete picture of network
management
› It comprises of four models

15
OSI Architecture Classification (1)
› Organization Model
– Components of network management system, functions &
infrastructure
– It defines term object, agent and manager
– Defined in ISO 10040 System Management Overview
› Information Model
– Deals with structure and organization of management information
– Define ISO 10165 define Structure of Management Information (SMI),
Information database, Management Information Base (MIB)
– MIB deals with relationship and storage of management information
– SMI defines how management information is structured
16
OSI Architecture Classification (2)
› Communication Model
– Three basic functions
– Management of application processes (Application Layer)
– Layer management between layers
– Layers Operations
› Functional Model
– It deals with the user oriented requirements of network management
– 5 functional application areas are (system management function)
› Configuration , Fault, Performance, Security, Accounting
