Intended for network managers who use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Integrates an understanding of both the underlying concepts and the management infrastructure so that managers can be prepared (and not panic) when problems arise. Each of the primary chapters has three parts: a tutorial on a technology, a discussion of management instrumentation available, and some application fragments which show how problems can be solved by monitoring and controlling the instrumentation.
