IS 3120 CHAPTER 12 Flashcards
A technique that involves taking action to determine if everything is working properly.
Active fault detection
A protocol that defines an implementation for communicating between management applications and their agents.
Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP)
Any malfunction of a network hardware or software component.
Fault
The collection of procedures, devices, software programs, and actions that enable network administrators to detect and respond to faults.
Fault management
A model that focuses on five primary areas of network management: fault management, configuration management, accounting management, performance management and security management.
FCAPS
A small database of characteristics for a specific type of device.
Management information base (MIB).
All variables that describe a single device.
MIB module
An individual setting in an MIB that stores the value of a single device characteristic.
MIB variable.
One or more central locations used to monitor and control networks.
Network operations center (NOC)
A unique identifier that refers to a specific MIB module.
Object ID (OID).
A technique that involves waiting for some indication that a fault has occurred.
Passive fault detection
A protocol used to collect and process information about network devices.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A standard for logging messages from programs and devices..
Syslog
A protocol lodel for managing open systems in a communication network.
