Abstract

This paper defines viewpoints in order to deal with the network management complexity. A network management viewpoint leads to the representation of a network management system with emphasis on a specific concern. Five viewpoints are identified, namely information, functional, communication, architectural and organizational. The network management standards provisions and lacks for every viewpoint are enhanced and some elements of solutions are presented. Then, these viewpoints are integrated and applied to every management layer of an FDDI subnetwork considered as a componet of a high speed multi-network.
