Managing internetworks with SNMP: the definitive guide to the Simple Network Management Protocal, SNMPv2, RMON, and RMON2

Mark A. Miller9781558515611, 1558515615

Managing Internetworks with SNMP, Second Edition, is an invaluable guide for all network managers and administrators who maintain a complex internetwork. This comprehensive reference provides a technical understanding and practical application of SNMP, the protocol developed by the Internet community to simplify the management of internetworks.In addition to covering the latest revisions to SNMP version 2, Managing Internetworks with SNMP, Second Edition covers RMON and RMON2, including both the Ethernet and Token Ring versions. Packed with illustrations, case studies, and helpful examples, Managing Internetworks with SNMP, Second Edition provides the techniques and know-how you need to maintain a productive network using the SNMP protocol.The CD-ROM contains more than 160 useful network management-related documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), including the standards defining the SNMP and its architecture, RMON and RMON2, plus management information bases (MlBs) supporting LAN, MAN, and WAN systems.
