With the maturity of Web/Java technology and its wide application on the Internet, network management technologies and models have ushered in another revolution. In the field of network management, by integrating the network management system through Web technologies (such as Web server, HTTP protocol, HTML and Java language, etc.), simple and effective management tools that can run on various platforms can be obtained. In particular, people's requirements for computer network management tools are not only limited to centralized management mode, but also require network management tools to have distributed computing capabilities. In recent years, with the development and maturity of Java, EJB, XML and other technologies, people's distributed requirements for network management have become a reality.
Features of Web-based Network Management Mode
- Distributed: There is no geographical restriction, suitable for distributed network management.
- Cross-platform: Network administrators can access the network from any computer on any platform, which solves the interoperability problem caused by multi-platform heterogeneity.
- Low cost: The interface is more friendly, the management method is simpler and more convenient, and the network management cost is reduced.
- High efficiency and good security: The thin client/fat server mode is adopted, and a large number of heavy computing and storage tasks are handed over to the Web server, which improves management efficiency and enables users to operate the network management system more flexibly. At the same time, with the help of WWW security The mechanism can effectively perform access control, data encryption and server authentication.
Implementation of Web-based Network Management System
At present, with the popularity and development of Web technology, Web-based network management technology is widely used in network management. There are two commonly used web-based network management technologies: one is based on embedded network management , which embeds the network management workstation into the network device, each device has its own web address, and network management personnel can access it through a browser. Management equipment, this technology is suitable for small network management systems, and is not conducive to expansion; the second is agent-based network management , the agent program manages the equipment, loads the management program into the network management workstation, and communicates with the agent program through the SNMP protocol. , the browser communicates with the network management workstation through the HTTP protocol or other methods. This technology enables the browser and the network management workstation to use the B/S (Browser/Server, browser/server) structure to communicate, software system deployment, upgrade maintenance and data The backup only needs to be completed on the server side, and the client does not need to install and debug the application, which greatly reduces the total maintenance cost of the system and strengthens the stability and scalability of the system.
Java-based B/S network management platform-Zhihe Network Management Platform
Zhihe network management platform is perfectly compatible with mainstream/domestic systems and databases, provides C/S and B/S client interfaces, and is compatible with PC and mobile devices. It has realized more than 1000 basic network management functions including device topology, fault management, performance management, configuration management and security management. Expansion and development integration needs.
Zhihe network management platform is based on the concept of "controlling everything, omnipotent and ubiquitous", and adopts the unified access model of equipment, which can manage all networking equipment such as network equipment, computers, servers, intelligent equipment, Internet of Things, industrial equipment, etc.; In defense, telecommunications, government, finance, transportation, energy, enterprise, industry, manufacturing and other fields.
Basic network management functions carried by Zhihe network management platform
- Automatic discovery: In the process of automatic discovery, you can search for network devices, identify the device type and manufacturer model, generate a panel diagram of the device or search for device resources, such as: board, port, CPU, memory, disk, etc., and discover the device link relationship between.
- Topology management: Display network devices and their connection relationships in a visualized topology diagram, which can be edited by users. Devices, device resources, and connections can be managed through the topology map.
- Device management: Through the topology view, users can easily manage devices and their configuration parameters.
- Device resource management: On the basis of the topology diagram, it is supported to further display the device details, including the physical components of the device, the services on the server (Web server, middleware application service, database server, mail server) or other monitoring objects defined by the user.
- Connection management: Users can edit connections through the topology view and select the performance data items displayed in real time for the connection.
- Fault management: Various fault information can be collected and displayed in a timely manner. Fault information can be viewed through devices, resources, and connections, and faults can be managed through a unified fault management interface.
- Performance management: Comprehensively collect or receive a variety of new energy data of equipment resources, display them visually through graphs, histograms, or tables, and view changes in performance indicators by day, week, and month.
- Event management: Messages sent by devices/servers can be processed in a centralized manner, and users can be notified in a timely manner, and can be managed through a centralized management interface.
- Security management: It supports the organizational structure of multi-level networks/areas, and can assign and manage different networks/areas to different users. After logging in, users can only see the networks and devices under their authority. The black and white list function is used to detect whether the device (identified by IP or MAC) that the user cares about appears in the network and the time of appearance, and reminds the user whether to proceed to the next step.
- Configuration management: It supports configuration/backup and software upgrade of each multiple devices at the same time, so as to reduce the workload of administrators and improve the availability of the system.
- Network tools: It integrates common network management tools and supports user's configuration parameters.
- Statistical report: Supports statistical functions of multiple data, allowing users to have a comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the network. Supports exporting or printing the statistical charts in the software for backup or comparative viewing.
