From the Back Cover

SNMP Network Management. Here is today's most comprehensive guide to managing networks more effectively with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a relatively simple, highly popular suite of protocols for managing TCP/IP, SNA, NetWare, and other complex networks. More practical and less technical than any other resource on the subject, this easy-to-follow reference shows you how SNMP works; how it helps manage networks; and the interworkings of each SNMP packet. You'll find clear insight into SNMP basics, inlcuding its TCP/IP related history, as well as useful details on how SNMP travels over various networks. Following the guidance in each of X.700's five areas of network management, you'll learn how to put SNMP into practice, including what to manage, how to set up management zones, and how to avoid the potholes common to managing complex networks. Even more, the book's extensive troubleshooting section enables you to quickly identify and fix problems on TCP/IP networks. SNMP Network Management provides you with: Complete coverage of SNMPv1, SNMPv2; An advance look at the latest version, SNMPv3; In-depth discussions of RMON (Remote Monitoring) and RMON2. The accompanying CD-ROM includes network management tools and complete files of RFC documentaiton.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many unnecessary details ..., April 6, 2000

By 

Anwar Rizal - See all my reviews

This review is from: SNMP Network Management (McGraw-Hill Computer Communications Series) (Paperback)

I am quite familiar with TCP/IP and a software developer. When I started reading this book, I was blank about SNMP and network management in general. Therefore I bought this book, and hoped that I could understand better the protocol and its related issues and then could develop a network management software.

I found that I was completely wrong. I still had no idea what SNMP was when I read almost 75% parts of the book. In fact in the 75% parts there are not many things to read. Too many unnecessary tables and very little explanation. I gave up and almost forgot that I had the book.

However, I do need a knowledge on SNMP but I don't want to buy other books. I , then, read SNMP-related RFCs, and I found that the RFCs were even more understandable than the book! After reading RFC 1155 - 1157 then I read the book back. Well, I understand the book now, but still the book does not give me much information.

You need a book to understand standards, not you read the standards to understand the book, don't you? My friend recommends me SNMPv3 book from Prentice-Hall, maybe I should read the book too..., hopefully it is better.
