Assignment - Network Management Solution

This assignment can be done individually or (optionally) as a group. There is a maximum of two (2) students in a group.

Overview

A common task in network management is the collection and storage of data from managed devices. The data can include, but not limited to, configuration and performance data. The objective of this assignment is to design and implement a network management solution that captures and stores data from various devices. Consider the following diagram that presents a simplified example.

The design of the network management solution will begin with a scenario design. The scenario design will include how many managed devices under consideration (in the range of 2-5 managed devices), and what needs to be captured and stored. The implementation will naturally follow from the scenario design and fulfil the outlined requirements. Note that only the design will be assessed. In other words there is no need for sample executions of the solution. The solution will be tested after submission.

The MIB objects under consideration should be based on the MIB-II sub-tree (see RFC1213 for more details) with object identifier ‘1.3.6.1.2.1’. Each of the nodes directly below MIB-II is called a group. An overview of the first 7 nodes is given by the following table.

(table attached below)

Design

What is the scenario?

• The scenario is clearly defined and well described.

• Meets the criteria of the assignment description.

What data will be collected and stored?

• This includes the identification of specific managed objects found on the managed device (at least the standard objects used by SNMP or equivalent).

• The persistent data structures are well specified. This can be either flat files or a relational database. It is expected that there should be at least 3-5 files/tables or equivalent.

Report #2

Implementation

How is the implementation organised?

• Logically follows from the design of the project.

• More specifically, the appropriate commands are used to request the data.

Does the implementation satisfy the goal of data collection?

• The implementation approach should be clear and well organised.
