Publisher's Synopsis
This text focuses on the technology used to manage large communications/network infrastructures based on TCP/IP known as "internets". In the last few years, the rapid growth of the number and size of these interconnected networks has made their management problematic. This edition has been updated to reflect the changes in internet management since 1990 and focuses on Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv2) to which Rose has been the leading contributor. Topics covered include: overview of TCP/IP suite of protocols, managed objects, access policies, protocol operations and a complete working implementation of SNMP.
