IS3120 Network Communications Infrastructure Unit 10 Network Management—FCAPS
Learning Objective • Apply network management and security techniques using the FCAPS process.
Key Concepts • Fault management—SNMP alarms • Configuration management—change control board and procedures • Administration management—asset and inventory management • Performance management—WAN bandwidth and capacity planning • Security management—network infrastructureC-I-A
FCAPS Concepts • Architectural and framework standards: the TMN/FCAPS Model (ITU-T) • Uses the concept of layers • Network management tasks are grouped into functional areas such as FCAPS • A logical layered architecture (LLA) consists of five management layers
Accounting Management • Determining what needs accounting
Accounting Management Concepts • Identifies who is using the network and system resources, and to what extent • Allocates cost to users on the basis of their usage • Provides basis for comparing the cost of internal operations to market-related prices
Configuration Management • Locates resources • Keeps track of resources • Collects data on managed objects regularly • Changes are collected using unsolicited messages, such as traps
Configuration Management Configuration Change Request Change Management Process No Approval needed? Complete change Yes ConfigurationControl Board No Approved? Don’t complete change Yes Complete change
Change Control Board • Change management involves both aspects of problem management and configuration management • The change board approves planned changes for the infrastructure and record any problems encountered during the change
Summary • In this presentation, the following were covered: • The features and functions of network fault management techniques • Administration management features and functions • Aligning configuration management practices to network systems • Selecting an appropriate performance management solution
