Introduction
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) network management model defines five functional areas of network management. This document covers all functional areas. The overall purpose of this document is to provide practical recommendations on each functional area to increase the overall effectiveness of current management tools and practices. It also provides design guidelines for future implementation of network management tools and technologies.
Network Management
The ISO network management model's five functional areas are listed below. • Fault ManagementDetect, isolate, notify, and correct faults encountered in the network. • Configuration ManagementConfiguration aspects of network devices such as configuration file management, inventory management, and software management. • Performance ManagementMonitor and measure various aspects of performance so that overall performance can be maintained at an acceptable level. • Security ManagementProvide access to network devices and corporate resources to authorized individuals.
• Accounting ManagementUsage information of network resources. The following diagram shows a reference architecture that Cisco Systems believes should be the minimal
