components or layers within a network management system (NMS). Here's a breakdown of each
element:
3. **APP (Applications)**: In the context of a network management system, "APP" likely refers to
the software applications or tools used for network monitoring, analysis, and management. These
applications provide user interfaces for network administrators to view network status, configure
devices, analyze performance metrics, generate reports, and troubleshoot issues. Examples of
network management applications include network monitoring software, configuration
management tools, performance analysis platforms, and security management solutions.
5. **OS (Operating System)**: The Operating System refers to the underlying software platform
running on network devices and servers within the network management system. The OS provides
the basic functionalities and services required for device operation, data collection, and
communication with the NMS. Examples of operating systems commonly used in network devices
include Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System), Junos OS, Linux, Windows Server, and various
embedded operating systems.
These elements work together to form a comprehensive network management system, enabling
organizations to monitor, analyze, configure, and optimize their computer networks effectively.
