动态构造网管中被管对象的可视化扩展

Visualized expansion of managed objects in dynamically constructed network management

随着互联网规模的不断扩大和网络应用的日益丰富,传统网管已经难以适应对大型、异构、动态变化的网络和种类繁多的网络应用的管理需要.动态构造的网络管理是一种新型的网络管理模式,被管对象的扩展是动态构造网管中的重要组成部分.提出了被管对象的可视化扩展方法.通过在管理人机交互界面上构造一棵MOS (被管对象集)树,并提供一系列的编辑工具,供设备厂商和应用开发商可视化定义其设备和应用所实现的MOS模块.这些模块以具有正确语法格式的MOS文件的形式提交给网管系统,由动态MOS编译将其加载到系统中,系统通过对其的访问实现被管对象和管理功能的关联及扩展.

Facing ever expanding of the Internet and the increasing number of applications on the network, the traditional network management is not able to satisfy the new demands on managing changing networks and applications. A new network management model-dynamically constructed network management was therefore proposed. In dynamically constructed network management system, the expansion of managed objects is an important component. A method for visualized expansion of managed objects was proposed. The visualization was achieved by generating a managed objects sets (MOS) tree on the manager interactive interface, and a set of graphical editing tools was supplied to help devices manufactures and application developers to define their MOS modules visually. The generated MOS modules are of valid syntax format, and were submitted to the network management system. They are ready to be loaded into the management system by the dynamic MOS compiler. Then the association and expansion between managed objects and management functions were implemented through accessing those modules.
