Task 2. The student needs to conduct a research on Telecommunication Management Network with reference to at least two published research papers (preferably from the ACM DL or IEEE CSDL) and prepare a study report of 3 to 4 pages which covers the following parts:
a. Presentation of Telecommunication Management Network. The following points must be covered: Framework, Functional model and Technologies used.
b. A reflection including the Network Management design adopted by TMN, its advantages and/or its disadvantages.
c. A proper referencing
Task 3. :
The students are required to read carefully the case study presented below and answer accordingly the questions. In order to successfully complete this task, the students need to do the following:
- Conduct a research on RMON groups and objects as well as its implementation on Cisco switch. The student can benefit from his e-library account and get access to a large number of open journals and publications on this subject. A clear documentation with well-commented examples can be also accessed by borrowing the book: “Network Management: Concepts and practice: a hands-on approach” by J.Richard Burke, from MEC library (11 hard copies are available). The cisco website (https://www.cisco.com) will be also helpful for the students to show them how to configure RMON commands on a Cisco switch.
Answer the questions of the case study by configuring the necessary RMON commands on Cisco switch 2960- S series.
Write a report on Task 3 by providing the screenshots of the different configurations executed with clear description.
Case study:
“As a network manager, you are responsible for monitoring the network performance in order to guarantee a good working environment for the users.
Configuring the notifications that will be sent to the network manager is an essential part of his mission. It requires to set first the thresholds for all the critical values under/above which an alarm must be sent.
This will help the network manager to be informed immediately whenever unwanted cases occur and rapidly intervene to fix them.
The alarms raised must also store the event details in log files for later analysis.”
Questions:
a. Start by configuring the ip address in the PC and for the management vlan on the switch. Configure SNMP and then RMON in promiscuous mode on the monitoring device (the switch).
b. Create an event that save the alarm details in the log file and send a trap to the administrator.
c. Set an alarm that monitors the MIB variable ifInErrors once every 30 seconds and checks the change in its value. If the change is more than 10, a trap message will be sent and saved in the log file. (Hint: link with task 3.b)
d. Send a trap and save in log file when the number of bytes going into interface 10 during the last two minutes is above 10000000 or below 10. (Hint: link with task 3.b)
e. Create a history collection on the active Fast Ethernet 10 interface every 300 seconds. Display the RMON history for that interface in the switch.
f. Collect statistics on the Fast Ethernet 10 interface. Display RMON statistics which shows the summary of data received on that Fast Ethernet.
g. Display RMON alarms and RMON events on the switch.
