A Practical Perspective

This is the best book I have come across that provides readers of all levels with a very basic to an "in the weeds" understanding of Network Management concepts and functional areas. It also does what other Network Management books does not-it explains how to collect the ISO Network Management Functional Area data for analysis using SNMP MIB Groups. I recommend this book to engineers who want to learn more about Network Management (to include Performance Mgmt, Fault Mgmt, Accounting Mgt, Configuration Mgmt, Security Mgmt) concepts and how to collect and organize such data using a management protocol.

Good MIB information

This is the best book I have found to explain how to use MIB information. I use the formulas in the book to build our in house NMS applications. Good overview of SNMP and SNMPv2.

Great framework for approaching network management

Provides a good basis for starting out in network management. The theory is sound and applies well to all network management systems.
