Abstract
An enhanced Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management system for telecommunications networks which efficiently provides many of the sophisticated management techniques enabled by Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) and Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) protocols, while maintaining the simplicity of SNMP. The enhanced SNMP defines a management state of each SNMP agent, define events which are to be reported from the agent to the management station, and provides a log for recording particular events and associated agent data vales when the events occur. The enhanced SNMP also provides the capability for an alarm, state change, and value change notification to be communicated from the SNMP agents to an SNMP management station when specific events occur at the agent.
