The SNMP - the Simple Network Management Protocol - is the standard for open, interoperable network management - defining 2000 items of management information. Written by the authors of the SNMP, this reference aims to go beyond the standards by explaining which of these 2000 items are important and how to make use of them in order to improve the efficiency of real networks. It not only describes the theory, technology, and algorithms used to manage real networks, but focuses on how to integrate SNMP technology and SNMP-based tools into all aspects of network management.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacks Detail and Lacks Cisco Related Help, March 22, 1999

This review is from: How to Manage Your Network Using SNMP (Paperback)

This book is worth half the cost. It gives too little informantion. The book is of little help with network related SNMP... just an troduction. I found Cisco's own documentation which is also a little thin, to be better if you are using Cisco equipment. A $29 book for $62!

1.0 out of 5 stars I wish there was option of less than one star.... AWFUL!, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Manage Your Network Using SNMP (Paperback)

The worst certification book I've ever read! Even the questions at the end, which could have make the book worth purchasing, are bogus and full of mistakes. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY READING THIS BOOK!

The author should be embarrased to have his name on it. Absolute garbage, trash. (I'm so glad there is somewhere to vent about a rip-off like this!)
