Publisher's Synopsis
The SNMP - the Simple Network Management Protocol - is the standard for open, interoperable network management - defining 2000 items of management information. Written by the authors of the SNMP, this reference aims to go beyond the standards by explaining which of these 2000 items are important and how to make use of them in order to improve the efficiency of real networks. It not only describes the theory, technology, and algorithms used to manage real networks, but focuses on how to integrate SNMP technology and SNMP-based tools into all aspects of network management.
