Title: Mobile Agent Based Network Configuration Management Model
Abstract: Configuration management, as one of the functions of network management, is responsible for monitoring, controlling and managing the configuration state of the whole network and it adjusts the configuration of the managed network devices in order to keep the whole network normally running. Configuration management using mobile agents aims at solving problems such as management information overflow, low efficiency and less flexibility that the present centralized network management brings about. MANCMM (Mobile Agent based Network Configuration Management Model) has improved the model of traditional centralized network management based on the distributed computing ability of mobile agents and it can have an efficient, persistent, real-time and accurate configuration management on network meeting the development and change of configuration management functions. The paper has sufficiently shown the feasibility and advantages of configuration management using mobile agents through the detailed study on the structure, the configuration management process and characteristics of MANCMM.
