METHOD FOR CONTROLLING NETWORK MANAGEMENT TRAFFIC BASED ON SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for controlling network management traffic is provided to be compatible with a standard network management protocol operated between an existing network manager and a to-be managed manager. CONSTITUTION: An electric communication management network includes a network manager(110) within a network management system(100), a management agent(210) within a to-be managed system(200), a system(220) to be substantially managed, and a management information base(230) in which the state of the to-be managed system(220) becomes information into a standardized management scheme. The network manager(110) sends/receives an operating command with the management agent(210) to determine the state of the to-be managed system(220). After the network manager(110) confirms the state of the to-be managed system(220), it specifies a control parameter to a filtering algorithm within the management agent(210) and the management information base(230) in order to receive the most appropriate event report(trap message) after a current state. If the management agent(210) receives the trap message for event report from the to-be managed system(220), the management agent(210) operates the filtering algorithm to selectively transmit only a trap message to be reported specified by the control parameter to the network manager(110).
