Abstract

Several operational patterns in common network management system (NMS) exhibit multicast characteristics. However, the latest version of the SNMP (simple network management protocol) standard, SNMPv3, does not support multicast yet. In this paper, we show that the multicast is a very useful mechanism for enhancing the efficiency of network management, and we propose a framework that extends the standard SNMPv3 to support secure multicast. Some modifications on the SNMP engine and the standard MIB-II (the second version of the management information base) are required so that they are interfaced with group membership. We then present a network management architecture where the proposed idea is explained in greater detail and utilized to improve the extensibility and efficiency of network management.
