●●● ●●●● ●●●●● ●●●● What is network management? Definition by Saydam(in Journal of Networks and System Management, published in Dec 1996) Network management includes the deployment, integration and coordination of the hardware, software and human elements to monitor, test, poll, configure, analyze, evaluate and control the network and element resources to meet the real-time, operational performance and Quality of service requirements at a reasonable cost In brief Network management is mostly a combination of local and remote configuration and management with software Remote network management is accomplished when one computer is used to monitor, access, and control the configuration of other devices on the network
