Question

What kind of network management protocols are available? What information can these protocols provide? Explain it with example. Note: NEED A UNIQUE ANSWER AND NO HANDWRITING PLEASE..

Answer 1

A Network management protocol is nothing but the protocols which are responsible for tracking the in and out flow of datas and traffic from the network link. ie. between the receiver side and the sender side. There are many protocols are available today. Some of the mains are given below.

• SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL
• CISCO DISCOVERY PROTOCOL
• INTERNET CONTROLLED MESSAGE POINT

1. Simple network management protocol :snmp is most useful protocol for gathering informations(data) from device like server, printer, router etc. for analysis of the use of CPU, bandwidth, network latency etc. to get a conclusion about the working of the network device. The important component of snmp is the MIB(management information base). which stores all the objects by a unique value those are handled by the snmp and for identifying the current status of the network device. SNMP analysis and stores each and every datas that have to be transferred to the network management applications. And by that those softwares and display the dats to the users.
2. the cisco discovery protocol is a DLLN(data link leyer monitoring) system and used by cisco devices for sharing datas between the connected cisco network of devices(routers, switches, servers, etc.). And by this all the devices will send about their attributes to the other device within the network using a multicast adress. And these signals tells about how long will the collected information record before it has to be deleted. And the signal received by the receiver is cached and made available to SNMP which transmits it to the network management software.
3. Internet controlled message point is a protocol specially designed for error reporting. That means network devicea such as routers should send some error messages in such a condition like the receiver or the sender can't get connected. So here this type of protocol system doesn't included in data transfer between the network devices. And by this error reporting system these protocol can support the network protocol. The signals from icmp are considered as the datagrams which consists of an IP header which holds the signal being transmitted and a another ip header about the error response. a example of error reported by icmp is unreachable destination message (unavailability of the destination).
