The ISO Network Management Model helps IT managers view management as functional areas, allowing clearer decision-making and security strategy processes.

The ISO network management model's five functional areas are listed below:

• Fault Management-Detect, isolate, notify and correct faults encountered in the network.

• Configuration Management-Configuration aspects of network devices such as configuration file management, inventory management and software management.
• Performance Management-Monitor and measure various aspects of performance so that overall performance can be maintained at an acceptable level.

• Security Management-Provide access to network devices and corporate resources to authorised individuals.
• Accounting Management-Usage information of network resources.

You will consider each of these five areas, and scenarios in which there is some ambiguity about the correct decision regarding each area.

Submit an essay in which you imagine you are a Senior Network Administrator. Describe your encounter with five scenarios; each uniquely corresponded to one of five ISO functional areas, where you would be in a 'grey area' about a decision to be made. For each scenario, recommend one different networking tool that might be beneficial.
