Desenvolvimento de componentes para facilitar a monitoração remota de redes de computadores usando ferramenta WebManager.

Abstract

Network equipments are implementing RMON(Remote Monitoring) Probes and offering this tool as an option to improve the Network Management. The RMON supplies data that makes possible to detect errors and to verify the network performance at the Data Link layer, however the quantity of information is too high and it’s too difficult to analyze it. This work involves the description and implementation of software components to facilitate the use of RMON technology, making possible to collect and processes the available data and present this data in a graphical way. As evaluation and test of the components, they were incorporated to the network management tool WebManager, developed and used by the Federal University of Paraíba, and presented a practical example of network management usingthis modified tool.
