Research and Implementation of Network Management System Based on XML View
Ma-kun Guo, Yingjie Yu, Min Wang, Yu Qi · 2010
Since the late 1980s, the simple network management protocol (SNMP) as the Internet management standard has been developed. The management of IP networks has exclusively relied on the SNMP. But the SNMP management framework has some weaknesses especially related to extensibility configuration management and efficient application development processes. Today, researchers and developers in the network and system management area have begun to investigate the use of Extensible Markup Language (XML) technologies seems to promise a fancy way out of this trouble. This paper introduces the concept of applying XML technologies to developing XML-based management systems to solve the problems that exist in the SNMP-based network management. We present a kind of network management system based XML which has advantage in platform-free, efficiency and flexibility. We have validated this architecture by implementing it and using it in managing network devices and systems.
