Traditional configuration management involves complex labor-intensive processes performed by experts. The configuration tasks such as installing or reconfiguring a system, provisioning network services and allocating resources typically involve a large number of activities involving multiple network elements. The network elements may be associated with proprietary configuration management instrumentation and may also be spread across heterogeneous network domains thereby increasing the complexity of configuration management. This paper introduces an architecture for the self-configuration of networks (SELFCON). The proposed architecture involves a directory server, which is uses to maintain configuration information. The configuration information stared in the directory server is modeled using the standard DEN specification thereby allowing effective exchange of network, system and configuration management data among heterogeneous management domains. SELFCON associates configuration intelligence with the components of the network, rather than limit it to a centralized management station. The network elements are notified about related changes in configuration policies, based upon which, they perform self-configuration. SELFCON is able to provide automation of configuration management and also an effective unifying framework for enterprise management.

In this paper, we have defined the rules and the algorithm for diagnosis and recovery of routing configuration fault on a system. By using them, we have implemented the Java-based system that can manage routing configuration fault automatically. To manage routing configuration fault, the production rule for network configuration management, the production rule for routing configuration fault diagnosis, and the production rule for routing configuration fault recovery have been proposed. Rule-based routing configuration fault management system has been implemented on the basis of backward chaining algorithm and applied for meta rules for the purpose of interconnecting the production rules. We have derived the experimental result from transition process of the rules, the Blackboard, the goals based on scenarios. Through the implementation of dynamically applicable system in heterogeneous and rapidly changing network environments, we have proposed the methodology for network configuration fault management. Also, we expect that network configuration manager can reduce time and cost wasted for routing configuration fault management.

ATM technology, which acts as a representative high-speed bandwidth technology, plays an important role in Internet environment. ATM network, supporting QoS(Quality of Service) and various traffic characters in high speed, configures many VPC(Virtual Path Connection)/VCC(Virtual Channel Connection). It is important to guarantee the QoS of each connection and it is necessary for the network manager to search element affecting the QoS of VPC/VCC and to control ATM network correctly. In the paper, the management information of VPC/VCC, that ATM network manager Using the fault notification for ATM switch, we can manage the configuration, fault and performance of ATM network. Thus, we extracted the configuration, fault and performance monitoring item from the ATM-MIB and SNMP M4 Network Element View MIB. And we designed the ATM network configuration, fault and performance management system based on the extracted item.

Currently used to manage a whole bunch of networks is the Client/Server Network Management Technique in which a central manager system supports a number of managed ones. Unfortunately it has a big drawback: wasting network resources, most of all bandwidth, which is mainly caused by too much traffic between the central manager system and the managed ones. In a way to overcome this weak point, we have designed a new type of system, a Configuration Management System (CMS), based on code mobility which has been used in distributed network management systems. In this thesis we have compared the CMS with the currently used network management system, identified class to make Mobile Code, and analyzed the techniques of other network management systems in order to verify the validity of the new system.

NMS (Network Management System) is a system that is used for a small or large networks management. As the size of network becomes larger and the configuration information become complicated, it becomes more difficult to grasp the network status and it takes much time to diagnose the failure of the network equipment. In this paper, to alleviate the problems of NMS we implement web-based network topology automatically using JavaScript, Python, HTML5 based TWaver. The detailed implementation of the system include the automatic collection of the connection information based on the equipment information registered in the NMS system, the implementation of the web-based network topology and the remote fault diagnosis. In the network topology, we can expect to improve the quality of the NMS system through structured data management by adding the configuration management, fault management and performance management functions in a comprehensive manner.

This paper proposes fault diagnosis and correction algorithms using agent collaboration, and a management model for managing network configuration faults. This management model is composed of three processes-fault detection, fault diagnosis and fault correction. Each process, based on RBR, operates on using rules which are consisted in Rule-based Knowledge Database. Proposed algorithm selves the complex fault problem that a system could not work out by itself, using agent collaboration. And the algorithm does efficiently diagnose and correct network configuration faults in abnormal network states.

Network management is composed of five major functional areas, fault, configuration, account, performance and security management in the ITU standards. Configuration management identifies, exercises control over, collects data from network element node system and provides data to the management systems. The proposed architecture is designed based on the Distributed Processing Environment of CORBA(Common Object Request Broker Architecture) Spec v2.3. In this paper, configuration management system has been designed and implemented with layered managed object. It provides that integrated management of various data link layer technology. We suggest MIB(Management Information Base)/MIT(Management Information Tree) to support integrated management and distributed environment.

To build a flexible network than traditional transport network, the carrier ethernet technology is emerging in network industry recently and MPLS-TP technologies are being applied as a major standard technology for the carrier ethernet. However, network management technologies required to handle equipment installed in MPLS-TP network are not clear. This paper propose an efficient method to build a management network automatically without any additional configuration when network equipments are installed in MPLS-TP network. The proposed scheme reduce cost required for both equipment installation and network maintenance by minimizing configuration procedures of connecting management system with network. We evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme by applying the scheme to a real MPLS-TP equipment.

In this paper we describe an efficient and easy to use network monitoring system which can identify network configuration automatically by means of capturing and analyzing the ARP broadcasting packets. After identifying network nodes, it gathers detail information of each node such as NETBIOS name and number of hop counts using ICMP and then shows subnet configuration with graphical method. This monitoring system also has a subset of intrusion detection system that can monitor any port scanning trial. With this automatic network configuration functions, it helps to lessen address keeping track overhead which is crucial for network monitoring so that it provides efficient network management.

This paper proposes a home control system architecture that have network configuration function. The proposed home control system architecture is implemented with partly hardware and software. For implementation of this system architecture, we developed ECONICS which is home automation controller. ECONICS consists of main board and communication modem. This communication modem supply the power line communication. The physical layer and the MAC layer software of EIA 709.1 standard protocol are implemented in communication modem. The upper layer software of EIA 709.1 standard protocol and home configuration software for home network installation, management, diagnostics, control and monitoring are implemented in main board of ECONICS. We verified the commercial feasibility of the proposed system through the home network configuration and operation. As a result, we have concluded that the proposed home control system architecture provides all the key function necessary to easily manage and control home network nodes.
