WebNMS Management Framework is a platform to build network management solutions
at very low costs and quick implementation time. Unlike traditional
management frameworks based on legacy technology and proprietary
development methodologies, Web NMS is based on recent open standards
inlcuding Web Services and J2EE technologies. This makes Web NMS
solutions less expensive to license, as well as much faster and
less expensive for each implementation.
WebNMS Management Framework is a proven, standards-based, highly extensible
framework with a strong set of applications for delivering Element
Management System (EMS) and Network Management System (NMS) solutions.
It includes comprehensive mediation capabilities, with a broad
set of northbound OSS interfaces, and a powerful set of development
tools. As a mature and widely deployed product it helps deliver
better management solutions with lower effort, time, cost, and
risk.
How to write a device simulator supporting multiple protocols
WebNMS Simulation Toolkit supports simulation of SNMP, TL1,
TFTP, and FTP manageable devices. In addition, the latest version
5.0 Beta supports Cisco IOS Software Simulation for the router
devices.
From your technical documentation, it says to go into NmsProcessesBE.conf
and make the ENABLE_SP_FOR_IFC_PARENTS TRUE for the com.adventnet.nms.topodb.DBServer
process. I did that for all my DMSs and my Central Server, but
when I right click on a node in my application client , the 'enable
status polling' checkbox is UNCHECKED, which means status polling
is disabled.
To collect management information from device or application,
you need an interface called agent to communicate to them and
retrieve information. At situations of large networks, managing
devices or applications and retrieving information becomes complex.
The WebNMS Agent toolkit generates the agent framework that
is capable of managing any number of devices or applications in
the network.
J2ME has the promise of being the platform of choice for developing
new killer wireless applications, may they be games, productivity
tools or stay-in-touch applications. J2ME is designed for device
manufacturers, wireless operators, low-memory applications developers
etc., because it is the platform for devices with limited memory,
display, and processing power.
How do I assign a IP to a particular Agent so each agent
is running on its own IP?
For accessing Multiple Agents in a single JVM, each Agent should
be configured with different ports or different virtual IP addresses.
It is also possible to simulate a network using Multiple Agents.
System and Device Management using SNMP Agent Toolkit
C Edition
Most of the management systems are built from top to bottom using
SNMP, TL1, HTTP or CLI. They leverage the specific facilities
offered by the selected management protocol. For example, OEM
vendors are keen at SNMP for their management needs
How to Implement SNMP Proxy Using SNMP Agent Toolkit
C Edition
In original model of SNMP Management, it is a monolithic Agent
that used to carry out all the management responsibilities on
a given network element (node). This solution was not flexible
enough to provide an effective management of increasingly complex
and distributed systems. In addition to the Agents typically provided
by computer manufacturers for hardware and operating system information,
other software vendors for SQL, Application servers, etc, also
produce Agents.
How to make the agent address equal IP address of the
PC that the agent is running on
If your agent and the manager are in the same PC, then you will
get the agent address as "127.0.0.1" in the generated
trap by default. This loopback address value can be modified.
