The 2002 International Conference on Security and Management SNMP Model Decentralization Through Utilization of Distributed Multi-Managers with Emphasis in Event Report

摘要

This paper intends to evaluate and validate SNMP's architecture model decentralization (Simple Network Management Protocol), used for Internet network management. The distribution is done through the use of distinct multi-managers which are independent and distributed in different machines. Another goal of this research is to apply to the model the emphasis to the reception of event report (Traps/ Informs) rather than the polling technique usually done. The Adoption of these techniques enable the increase of network-management efficiency, reaching: overhead decrease in management stations; simultaneous management tasks on each manager; decrease of time in order to solve problems; and increase of environment trust level. The study of this viability was accomplished through the evaluation of the use of 6 prototypes developed in Java language. Traps' filtration is made according to pre-determined rules constant in a sixth application, named Discriminator. This is based on detailed rules described in the x734 norm to OSI management ambient.
