...08 Fall SOLARWINDS: NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM VALENTINO ALAN LLEREZA De Vry UNIVERSITY In today’s world, the growth of computer technology has impacted and enhanced the way we communicate with each other and even the way we live. Many companies use this technology to create some type of computer network to be able to get information to and from each other during an ordinary day. As the computer network grows, the requirement for a network administrator increased. The network administrator is tasked with the management and responsibility of keeping the network healthy, at all times. This is accomplished through managing the activities, methods, procedures, and tools that pertain to the operation, administration, maintenance, and provisioning of networked systems(Clemm, 2007). To assist the network administrator, the use of network management system such as the Solarwinds Network Management System helps reduce operational cost while offering a secure and stable network that is crucial to all businesses. It does matter whether you’re a huge corporation or a small business, many computer network issues are unavoidable. The use of Solarwinds Network Management System presents various applications to maintain the simplicity of network management and is the complete package.

I Automated Assessments I Two Approaches I Realistic Expectations Summary Solutions Fast Track Frequently Asked Questions 1 285_NSS_01.qxd 2 8/10/04 10:40 AM Page 2 Chapter 1 • Vulnerability Assessment Introduction In the war zone that is the modern Internet, manually reviewing each networked system for security flaws is no longer feasible. Operating systems, applications, and network protocols have grown so complex over the last decade that it takes a dedicated security administrator to keep even a relatively small network shielded from attack. Each technical advance brings wave after wave of security holes. A new protocol might result in dozens of actual implementations, each of which could contain exploitable programming errors. Logic errors, vendor-installed backdoors, and default configurations plague everything from modern operating systems to the simplest print server.Yesterday’s viruses seem positively tame compared to the highly optimized Internet worms that continuously assault every system attached to the global Internet. To combat these attacks, a network administrator needs the appropriate tools and knowledge to identify vulnerable systems and resolve their security problems before they can be exploited. One of the most powerful tools available today is the vulnerability assessment...

...Abstract: Advanced cyberattacks on the public and private sectors at the local, national, and international level have prompted an increase in funding and support for the study of emerging cybersecurity technologies. The considerations for this paper are to discuss the emerging technologies and strategies that can be integrated across the public and private sector to improve cybersecurity on a local, national, and international level. New technologies need to dynamically assess networks real-time such as with the use of Remote Agents and Real-time forensic analysis. These technologies also need to make the attack space less predictable and constantly evolving such as through the use of moving target defense. Emerging Cybersecurity Technologies The E-government Act of 2000 was signed by President Bush to move toward a more 24-7 government. The dream was to eliminate the need to have to stand in line at the DMV for half a day just to pay annual vehicle registration fees (Barker, 2011). Security was certainly a concern, but it was not at the forefront of the move as government agencies would go through massive changes in equipment, manning, and practices in order to move information and programs online. Now, over a decade later we still see moves and changes taking place, such as the department of Veterans Affairs recently moving all of their applications, forms and records online. The expensive cost of getting the government caught up was expected with such an overhaul...

...the five network management categories that make up the FCAPS. They all have an important role and figure within the network management team, and they all know what to do and what their job description is based on the problem that happens and occurs within the company. FCAPS is a network management framework created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The five network management categories within the FCAPS are: * Fault Management * Configuration Management * Accounting (Administration) * Performance Management * Security Management They all have an important role within the company that they must do, and they all get paid differently based on what they are doing, some of them it can be a job promotion over time, for some of them it can be a demotion. But it all depends on the company. Most companies like to pay all of their workers the same based on their knowledge and skills, and their work performance, or then their job description. At the fault management level, network problems are found and corrected. Potential future problems are identified and steps are taken to prevent them from occurring or recurring. With fault management, the network stays operational, and downtime is minimized. Define thresholds for potential failure conditions. Properly implemented, fault management can keep a network running at an optimum level, provide a measure of fault tolerance and minimize downtime. At the configuration management level, network...

...IT Department is in the third floor of corporate building. From this place the IT department offer supports to the entire corporate building and the rest of the store in U.S. The implementation of news technology indicates the degree of business transformation varies significantly between firms. Improving processes usually involves implementing systems and process management across business function boundaries rather than within functions. IT infrastructure investments can be a constraint where systems are not compatible, or where inconsistent data models have been used in different parts of the business. (Broadbent, M., Weill, P., Clair, Don St, 1999) As companies grow, their IT Infrastructure evolves, requiring additional capacity and process efficiencies. The IT infrastructure required to support a company's operations can quickly exceed available physical space, resources and capabilities provided by the in-house data room or data center. As IT equipment needs increase, companies also must add appropriate staff to monitor and maintain al systems and ensure continues uptime. (Goodwin, Don 2010) The WAN network infrastructure for AAS-Design is composed by five stores, this mean the main office and four...

...the five network management categories that make up the FCAPS model. FCAPS is usually a network management tool that is also called the ISO Telecommunications Management Network. FCAPS represents Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security which are required to handle a number of groups inside the ISO model's network management tasks. Fault management layer this layer must be configure properly or end users will have many different problems. Fault management can have disruptive application and the system will not work properly. Many problems will happened when IT staffs install devices that needs to reconfigure on the systems. Fault Managing operates by spotting, isolating, fixing and recording faults that might occur from time to time inside a network. This management property utilizes trend analysis to help predict errors and eradicates these risks so the network can function without having faults and lower the risk of faults. Configuration Management has many goals, one of them is to collect information from devices and make it easy for IT managers. In a corporation end users cannot modify their nodes, this has to done by an administrative personal that have right to make changes most application is read only. Database can be queried for information, and as far as the information represents configuration information that is subject to be changed by a manager, the conceptual database can be modified, inserted, and deleted. Configuration management work much...

...based on a control/access given to the station owning the "token." Think of a token as the key to the media: whichever station has the token would be allowed to use the ring to send the data. So there would be no collision, just multiple stations competing for the same token. With not too many stations, the wait-for and claim of the token is very efficient (think of a video game with less players waiting to play it.) But if there are too many stations, most would just sit around and wait for the token, hence the flat-out of its performance. 2) What are the standards used for the various layers in an Ethernet-based network that is managed by the Internet management protocol?
