Brief Introduction
Network management systems have to be geared toward the work flow of the organization in which they will be utilized and be careful with remote external attack, as many hackers usually aim there attack at service offered to the public. Which means Network management systems department must provide protection to the business' data, with a smooth operation benefits for employees accessing those data. As we know Network management system is based on Client/Server paradigm normally requires transferring large amount of data between the manager and agents, which will consume large amount of data as bandwidth and cause a processing bottleneck at the manager. It become problem and complicated as the Network grow. According to our textbook, Management interoperability, management function, and management layers capture different technical aspects of network management. However, network management also involves a nontechnical .
INTRODUCTION
Network management systems have to be geared toward the work flow of the organization in which they will utilized the components of the network such as the ( manager, MIB, RMON and Probe ) to secure their organization data. And not forgetting to be mindful of remote external attack, as many hackers usually aim there attack at service offered to the public. Which means Network management department must provide protection to the business data for a smooth operation. According to our textbook, Management interoperability, management function, and management layers capture different technical aspects of network management. However, network management also involves a nontechnical which become a problem and complicated as the Network grow.

RMON MIB
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is a standard monitoring specification that enables various network monitors and console systems to exchange network-monitoring data. As we imagine Management Information Base (MIB) documents have advanced far beyond the gathering of data for delivery to a management station. For example, in chapter 4 of textbook mentioned that agent need to understand the manager request, as requires when management massage involve the exchange of data the device need to be mutual understanding between the manager and agent. This new generation of MIBs creates a new level of intelligence within the SNMP Agent.
The Remote Network Monitoring MIB implements RFC 1757. The RMON MIB source code implementation supplies a head start to the manufacturer who wishes to include RMON capabilities in their product. There are a number of companion documents to the RMON MIB. The Token Ring RMON MIB [19] provides objects specific to managing Token Ring networks the RMON-2 MIB [20] extends RMON by providing RMON analysis up to the application layer.
Network Management involves delegation of certain tasks to lower-layered systems by upper-layered systems. A feature called RMON, or Remote Monitoring, is a technology that implements management by delegation through a special SNMP MIB, which enables management delegations to RMON probes. The RMON features supports the nine RMON groups which I will list but will not go in details explaining but to learn more about it, you can visit cisco website: Statistics, History, Alarms, Hosts, Host Top N, Traffic Matrix, Filters, Packet Capture, and Events.
Probe:
Network probes are small hardware devices that are designed to passively collect data, it a ultimate network monitor and protocol analyzer to monitor network traffic in real-time, and will help you find the sources of any network slow-downs in a matter of seconds. A remote scheduling service that allows management applications to set up a probe that periodically executes a management operation at certain times, without requiring the management application to issue a new request each time. (Again, the service could be provided by complementing management primitives with parameters or MIB variables that represent scheduling information, such as start time, end time, and frequency.
