Lecture 1:Data Communications andNetwork Management Overview
Telephone Network • Characteristics: • Reliable - does what is expected of it • Dependable - always there when you need it • Good quality (connection) - hearing each other well • Reasons: • Good planning, design, and implementation • Good operation and management of network
Operations Systems / NOC • Operations support systems • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_Support_Systems • Monitor telephone network parameters • S/N ratio, transmission loss, call blockage, etc. • Real-time management of network • Trunk (logical entity between switches) maintenance system measures loss and S/N.Trunks not meeting QoS are removed before customer notices poor quality • Traffic measurement systems measure call blockage. Additional switch planned to keep the call blockage below acceptable level • Operations systems are distributed at central offices • Network management done centrally from Network Operations Center (NOC)

Internet Topology http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/m.dodge/cybergeography/atlas/topology.html
TCP/IP Based Networks • TCP/IP is a suite of protocols • Internet is based on TCP/IP • IP is Internet protocol at the network layer level • TCP is connection-oriented transport protocol and ensures end-to-end connection • UDP is connectionless transport protocol and provides datagram service • E-mail, WWW, FTP, Telnet: TCP/IP • Network mgmt. (SNMP): UDP/IP • ICMP: part of TCP/IP suite
Protocols used in NM • SNMP(v1, v2, v3) • Simple Network Management Protocol • ICMP • Internet Control Message Protocol • Ping , traceroute • ARP/RARP • Address Resolution Protocol/ (Reverse ARP) • TCP • Socket • Telnet/SSH • HTTP+XML
Common Network Problems • Loss of connectivity (Link, Node, Interface) • Duplicate IP address (Procedural) • Intermittent(間歇的) problems • Network configuration issues • Non-problems • The cause of failure is a mystery. (Turn off , Turn on) • Performance problems
Challenges of IT Managers • Reliability • Non-real time problems • Rapid technological advance • Managing client/server environment • Scalability • Troubleshooting tools and systems • Trouble prediction • Standardization of operations - NMS helps • Centralized management vs “sneaker-net”
Network Management (NM) • Definition • OAM&P of Network and Services • OAM&P: Operations, Administration, Maintenance, and Provisioning) • Goal • To ensure that the users of a network receive the IT services with the quality of service (QoS) that they expect.

網管五大管理功能領域 • 管理功能領域 (Management Functional Areas, MFAs) • 障礙管理 (Fault Management) • 組態管理 (Configuration Management) • 安全管理 (Security Management) • 效能管理 (Performance Management) • 計量管理 (Accounting Management) ITU-T X.700 http://www.oreilly.com.tw/sample_chap/a030_03.pdf
網管五大管理功能領域 • 組態管理(Configuration Management) • Tells you where everything is in the network . • 障礙管理(Fault Management) • Tells you what your network is doing. • 效能管理(Performance Management) • Tells you how the network is doing. • 計量管理(Accounting Management) • Tells you when your network is used. • 安全管理(Security Management) • Tells you who is using your network.
障礙管理 (Fault Management) • Fault Management (FM) • Detection of a problem, fault isolation and correction to normal operation. • FM involves the following steps: • Discover the problem. • Isolate the problem • Fix the problem (if possible) • Use of Trouble-Ticket Systems
障礙管理之功能 • Maintain and examine error logs • Accept and act upon error detection notifications • Trace and identify faults • Carry out sequences of diagnostic tests • Correct faults

組態管理 (Configuration Management) • Configuration Management (CM) • The process of finding and setting up (configuring) network devices. • CM identifies, exercises control over, collects data from, and provides data to networked systems.
組態管理之功能 • Set the parameters that control the routine operation of the networked system. • Associate names with managed objects and sets of managed objects. • Initialize and close down managed objects. • Collect information on demand about the current condition of the networked system. • Obtain announcements of significant changes in the condition of the networked system. • Change the configuration of the networked system.
安全管理 (Security Management) • Security Management (SM) • The process of controlling access to information on the networked system. • 安全管理之功能 • The creation, deletion, and control of security services and mechanisms. • The distribution of security-relevant information. • The reporting of security-relevant events.
效能管理 (Performance Management) • Performance Management (PM) • Measuring the performance of network hardware, software, and media. • 幾個量測例子: • Overall throughput • Percentage utilization • Error rate • Response time
效能管理之功能 • Gather statistical information. • Maintain and examine logs of system state histories. • Determine system performance under natural and artificial conditions. • Alter system modes of operation for the purpose of conducting PM activities.
計量管理 (Accounting Management) • Accounting Management (AM) • Tracking each individual and group user's utilization of network resources to better ensure that users have sufficient resources. • AM enables charges to be established for the use of network resources, and the costs to be identified for the use of those network resources.
計量管理之功能 • Inform users of costs incurred or resources consumed. • Enable accounting limits to be set and tariff schedules to be associated with the use of resources. • Enable costs to be combined where multiple resources are invoked to achieve a given communication objective.

網路管理構成元素 • 管理者 (Manager) • 代理者 (Agent) • 網路管理通信協定 (Network Management Protocol) • 網路管理資訊 (Network Management Information)
網路管理角色 • 管理者 (Manager) • 執行各項用來監督(Monitor)及控制(Control)網路設備的網管應用程式 • 代理者 (Agent) • 位於網路設備端,負責接受從管理者端送來之要求,執行所付予之工作,並將結果回報給管理者。
網路管理協定 • 網路管理協定專為管理者與代理者所設計之通信協定。 • 網路管理協定提供管理者與代理者間交換網管資訊標準方式。 • 目前主要兩種網管通信協定 • Internet網管通信協定: • SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) • OSI網管通信協定: • CMIS/P (Common Management Information Service / Protocol)
網路管理資訊 • 被管物件(Managed Object, MO) • 將待管之網路資源,抽象化為物件,稱被管物件,簡寫MO。 • 被管物件所代表之網路資源可大可小,大可至代表整個網路設備如ATM交換器,小可至代表某一網路元件之參數,如介面卡之狀態。 • 管理資訊庫 (Management Information Base) • 被管物件之集合,簡寫MIB。
Status and Future Trends • Status: • SNMP management • Limited CMIP management • Operations systems • Polled systems • Future trends: • Object-oriented approach • Service and policy management • Business management • Web-based management

網路管理基本方式 (續) • Polling (輪詢) • 網管系統主動至被管設備要求網管相關資訊 。 • 一般採用週期性輪詢,週期長短視需要而定,一般設為5~15分鐘。 • Notification (通報) • 網路設備自行發現問題時,主動向網管系統發出事件報告(Event Report)。
