A Scalable Policy and SNMP Based Network Management Framework

【摘要】 Traditional SNMP-based network management can not deal with the task of managing large-scaled distributed network,while policy-based management is one of the effective solutions in network and distributed systems management.However,cross-vendor hardware compatibility is one of the limitations in policy-based management.Devices existing in current network mostly support SNMP rather than Common Open Policy Service(COPS)protocol.By analyzing traditional network management and policy-based network management,a scalable network management framework is proposed.It is combined with Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF)framework for policy-based management and SNMP-based network management.By interpreting and translating policy decision to SNMP message,policy can be executed in traditional SNMP-based device.更多还原
