Method and system for configuring a network management network

摘要

A method of configuring a network management network (10) including a computer network (20), a network management system (30), and a data link (40) for coupling the computer network to the network management system includes determining at least one network management parameter for the network management network (10), including the number of network devices (22) on the computer network (20). The method also includes calculating a data link (40) capacity in response to determining the at least one network management parameter and the number of network devices (22) and configuring (160) the network management network (10) in response to determining the at least one network management parameter and calculating the data link (40) capacity.
