Introduction of SNMPc and NetAtlas
With the number of network device increase, the demand to detect and respond to the
network failure or external event in a very short time posts a great challenge to network
administrator. How to easily manage and monitor network devices across networks
becomes more and more important in network management.
Figure 1 presents main elements of the system architecture. Element Management
System (EMS), NetAtlas provides a centralized remote management platform and acts
as SNMPc manager to perform network configuration, system management,
event/alarm management, performance management and security for all ZyXEL’s
Ethernet Switch solutions. SNMPc is network management software produced by
Castle Rock that constantly probe the network element (NE) and collect information of
those NE for EMS. Underneath the EMS is Postgres SQL, the enterprise relational
database system, provides query for EMS
