AG-NC: An Automatic Generation Technique of Network Components for Dynamic Network Management

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an automatic generation method of network components for active network management based on SNMP. At most the components in the network have been managed manually. It wastes time and cost for network management program development. Thus, we propose an active program generator, which is called AG-NC, in order to solve these disadvantages. AG-NC consists of NE Basic Info Handler, MIB Handler, Template Handler, and Operation Handler. This can generate a network management program automatically using information that was provided along with SNMP library. Therefore, we can make the network structure expansion because the development time and cost of the network management program can be reduced dramatically through AG-NC.
