The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Network Management: A Practical Perspective (2nd Edition)':
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Part one of the book provides a very useful introduction and overview of
network management by following, and explaining, the ISO categories of fault,
configuration, performance, security and accounting management. This acts as a
tutorial for those who are becoming involved in the activity for the first
time, and will likely broaden the view of those who may have been performing
the functions for some time without formal training.
The review of network management protocols in part two is more technical,
although not right down to a programming level. It covers SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) and version 2, as well as the less commonly implemented
OSI CMIS/CMIP (Common Management Information Services/Protocol). Part three
looks at the RFCs for Management Information Bases while part four looks (very
briefly) at productivity tools. A sample "request for proposal" provides a
very useful guide for choosing and buying network management products.
