An SNMP-Enabled And Web-Based Network Management System Applied To Internet Telephony

Abstract

We present the development of an SW-NMS (SNMP-enabled and Web-based network management system) and the applied Internet Telephone network management system in this work. Employing the SNMP facilities Window NT provides, the SW-NMS can detect the status of system components, monitor the activities of SNMP-enabled system components, and distribute the system load into each system component. The SW-NMS encapsulated into an ActiveX object, stored at any WWW server site, which can be downloaded to and then reused at any web client site operating on Window NT, is Web-based. We have implemented the SW-NMS system and equipped the corresponding ActiveX object on a WWW server. Via connecting to the Web-based SW-NMS system, a network administrator applying Microsoft Internet Explorer can customize their network managements from any Web client site.
