Ferramenta para suporte à gerência de redes locais.

Abstract

This work describes the design and implementation of a tool to assist in local computer network management activities. The project was based on Ethernet-type local area networks, as they are currently the most used in the national context. The first part of the text comprises a brief introduction to computer networking, followed by a discussion of network management aspects applicable to both long-distance and local computer networks. In this step, we cover the network management support tools available today, highlighting so-called performance monitors. Following the work, the focus is on the design and implementation of the management tool developed by us, highlighting its functional specification, architecture and structuring, and functional components.
