Network Management: Understanding Network Operations, SLAs, and Security, Slides of Data Communication Systems and Computer Networks

An overview of network management, including its role in maintaining network performance, the concept of a service level agreement (sla), and the importance of fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management. It also covers internal and external security threats and the history and principles of telecommunications management networks (tmn).

WHAT IS NETWORK MANAGEMENT? •

It keeps the network operating at peak performance

It provides easy alternative routing

It serves as the front-line command post for network survivability

It gathers and files data on network usage

It performs a configuration management function

It also performs an administrative management function

It maintains and enforces network security

What is Service Level Agreement (SLA)?^ •

SLA is a negotiated agreement, between a service provider and a customer, designed to create a common understanding about thequality of services, its priorities and responsibilities. •

Reliability, e.g.: Service availability, uptime, loss, mean time between failure •

Responsiveness,

e.g.:

round-trip

delay,

processing

delay,

response time. •

Time frame for response and problem solution

Credits, charges, or other consequences in case of not meeting the SLA obligations

FAULT MANAGEMENT •

Fault Management emphasized of detection, analysis and correction of faults/errors that encounter in network •

Monitoring of error indication and generating alarms to system administrator. •

Fault detection and alarming

Automate service recovery

Fault positioning

ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT

Accounting Management is bunch of functions that governs the overall measured costs and resources •

Usage of Bandwidth, AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT It involves the evolution of all performance of network in its best anddegraded condition. All this evolution based on previous data

SECURITY MANAGEMENT Security Management is used to protect unauthorized user and anyattacks and invalid access of network INTERNAL SECURITY THREATS Involves the misuse by user to gain access to prohibited informationand to extra privilege EXTERNAL SECURITY THREADS Involves the hacker and intruders by use of hacking software, spyware, virus attacks etc

TMN: Basic Concept

Managed System

Telecommunications Networks •

Managing System

Management is performed by a cooperating set of

systems (Network of Systems)

Purpose

Accommodating Diverse Technologies (Multi-Vendors) •

How

Using “Standard Interfaces”

TMN:

OPERATION

PRINCIPLE

Objective

Concerned with: Operation, Administration,

Maintenance, and Provisioning (OAM&P).

Interaction

Managed Systems:

(Using)

Network Elements (NEs)

Managing Systems:

Operation Systems (OSs)

Interaction:

Standard Interfaces

TMN: Functional Block

Nodes: Work Station (WS)

Definition:

TMN “Human Site”

Function:

Provides “Presentation Functions” to theManager.

Nodes: Network Element (NE)

Location: NE resides in the “Managed TelecomNetwork” to “Handle Traffic (NotManagement)”

Operation: “Origin” & “ Destination” of management“Supervision” & “Control”

Interfaces

Function: Interfaces govern the manner in whichmanagement systems interact.

Standards: Standards for interfaces are emphasized toallow nodes (of different vendors) to interact
