Study Notes
Network Management
- Network management involves monitoring, testing, configuring, and troubleshooting network components
- It meets requirements set by an organization and ensures smooth, efficient network operation
- Network management systems use hardware, software, and human resources
Areas of Network Management
- Configuration management: Tracks and manages the status of network entities and their relationships
- Fault management: Addresses network faults with reactive and proactive strategies
- Performance management: Monitors network capacity, traffic, throughput, and response time
- Security management: Controls network access based on predefined policies using encryption and authentication
- Accounting management: Controls user access to network resources through charges or debits for budgeting, not necessarily cash transfers
Configuration Management
- Large networks comprise multiple interconnected entities with evolving configurations
- A configuration management system must track the status of each entity and its relation to others
- Two subsystems of configuration management are reconfiguration and documentation
Reconfiguration Types
- Hardware reconfiguration
- Software reconfiguration
- User-account reconfiguration
Documentation
- The original network setup and subsequent changes need meticulous recording, covering hardware, software, and user accounts
Fault Management
- Fault Management is vital in complex networks to ensure component operate correctly in relation to each other
- Effective fault management systems uses reactive and proactive subsystems
Reactive Fault Management
- Reactive fault management detects, isolates, corrects, and records faults, providing short-term solutions
Proactive Fault Management
- Proactive fault management aims to prevent faults, by predicting failures and prevent reoccurence
Performance Management
- Performance Management monitors the capacity of the network so it's not used above a certain capacity.
Capacity
- Network capacity that must be monitored
- There will be data rate issues if threshold is exceeded
Traffic
- Traffic can be measured internally (packets inside the network) or externally (packets exchanging with outside of the network)
- Blocking may occur if traffic is excessive
Throughput
- Measure throughput of a router or part of the network and ensure it does not fall to unacceptable levels
Response Time
- The time a service is requested until the service is granted
- Capacity and traffic will affect response time, which must be monitored
- An increase of response time indicates that the network is working above capacity
Security Management
- Security management controls access to a network based on predefined policy.
- Tools such as encryption, to allow privacy, and authentication are used
Accounting Management
- Accounting management controls user access through charges, or debits for network resources for budgeting
SNMP
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a network management standard
- It's used by the Internet and allows it to manage devices using TCP/IP protocol suite
Managers and Agents
- A manager is a host running the SNMP client program
- An agent is a router or host running the SNMP server program
- Management is achieved through simple interaction
Management Components
- Structure of Management Information (SMI)
- Management Information Base (MIB)
Role of SNMP
- Defines the packet format between manager and agent
- Interprets results and creates statistics, exchanging object names, their values and their status
- Responsible for reading and changing
Role of SMI
- Establishes naming rules for objects, ensuring hierarchical structure
- Defines object types and encoding rules
Role of MIB
- For each entity to be managed, it defines protocol, object number, naming rules defined by SMI and a type for each named object
- Creates a set of objects resembling a database with metadata
Overview of SNMP in Action
- An overview of components involved in a simple scenario
- A manager station wants to message the agent station, an SNMP client wants to send a message to an SNMP server
- The SNMP client wants to find out the number of UDP user datagrams received by the agent
SMI
- The Structure of Management Information version 2 (SMIv2) is a component for network management, and a guideline for SNMP
- It emphasizes object name, data type and encoding method
- This handles objects, defines data type, and shows how encode data
Name Attribute
- Managed objects requires unique names
- SMI uses object identifiers, a hierarchical identifier based on the tree structure, to name objects globally
Type Attribute
- The data type is the second Attribute of an object
- SMI uses Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) to define the data type and new definitions
- SMI is a subset and a superset of ASN.1.
- Two broad categories of data type: simple and structured
Encoding Method
- SMI uses Basic Encoding Rules (BER) to encode data to be transmitted over the network
- BER specifies each piece of data is encoded in triplet format: tag, length, and value (TLV)
MIB
- The Management Information Base version 2 (MIB2) is the second component used in network management
- Each agent has its own MIB2, which is the collection of all the objects that the manager can manage
Accessing MIB Variables
- The udp group is an example to show accessing different variables.
- This group includes four simple variables and one sequence of table of records
SNMP Use
- SNMP uses SMI and MIB in Internet network management as an application program that allows:
- A manager to retrieve the value of an object in an agent
- An agent to send an alarm message
PDUs
- SNMPv3 defines eight types of Protocol Data Units (PDUs): GetRequest, GetNextRequest, GetBulkRequest, SetRequest, Response, Trap, InformRequest, and Report
SNMP UDP Ports
- SNMP uses UDP ports 161 and 162.
- Port 161 is used by the server (agent)
- Port 162 is used by the client (manager)
Security
- SNMPv3 has added security and remote administration features.
- It allows message authentication, confidentiality, and integrity
ASN.1
- Abstract Syntax Notation One(ASN.1) defines the format of data when sending continuous bits
- Separates the definition of data types from bits transmitted through the network
ASN.1 Language Basics
- It defines objects and associated values
- It uses: symbols, keywords, and primitive data types
ASN.1 Symbols
- Defined As or assignment ::=
- Or, alternative, or option |
- Negative sign -
- The following is a comment --
- Range ..
- Start and End of a list {}
- Start and End of a Tag []
- Start and end of a Subtype ()
ASN.1 Keywords
- BEGIN = Start of a module
- CHOICE = List of alternatives
- DEFINITIONS = Definition of a data type or an object
- END = End of a module
- EXPORTS = Data type that can be exported to other modules
- IDENTIFIER = A sequence of non-negative numbers that identifies an object
- IMPORTS = Data type defined in an external module and imported
- INTEGER = Any positive, zero, or negative integer
- NULL = A null value
- OBJECT = Used with IDENTIFIER to uniquely define an object
- OCTET = Eight-bit binary data
- OF = Used with SEQUENCE or SET
- SEQUENCE = An ordered list
- SEQUENCE OF = An ordered array of data of the same type
- SET = An unordered list
- SET OF = An array of unordered lists
- STRING = A string of data
ASN.1 Data Types
- The ASN.1 defines simple data types
- Computer languages such as C, C++, or Java exist in ASN1
- Simple data types can be combined to make new simple data types, structured data types
ASN.1 Simple Data Types
- Boolean = TRUE or FALSE
- INTEGER = Integers
- BIT STRING = A string of binary digits (bits) or a null set
- OCTET STRING = A String of octets or a null set
- NULL = Null
- OBJECT IDENTIFIER = A set of values that defines an object
- ObjectDescriptor = Human readable text describing an object
- EXTERNAL = A type that is not in the standard
- REAL = Real numbers in scientific notation
- ENUMERATED = A list of integers
- SEQUENCE, SEQUENCE OF = Ordered list of types
- SET, SET OF = Unordered list of types
- NumericString = Digits 0–9 and space
- PrintableString = Printable characters
- VisibleString = ISO646String
- GeneralString = General character string
- CHARACTER STRING = Character set
ASN.1 New Data Types
- For defining data types from a builtin or previously defined data type
ASN.1 New Subtypes
- New Subtypes use the same method as new data types for defining
ASN.1 Simple Variables
- Can create a variable of a particular type and assign (store) a value in it
- Variables should start with a lower-case letter to distinguish it from the type
ASN.1 Structured Type
- To define a structured data type similar to struct use the keyword SEQUENCE
- It's an ordered list with userName, password, and account number
Encoding
- Encoding is used after the data has been defined and values associated with variables
- It uses the Basic Encoding Rule
