SmartMIB Base Packages

SmartMIB Professional package [SM-Pro] is the basic package and it consists of the SNMP engine and the other components necessary to run a default plus a single management process that typically is centred around a common management process that implements a specific management solution.

SM-Pro could be looked at as the flag solution. SM-Pro’s default ‘SystemGrp’ management process learns the devices in the network and reports initially on the type, name, time since last reboot, administrative contact, and physical location of each device (whenever configured per device) classifying devices by vendor as well as by function within the overall network. Learning such data constitutes the first step to further structure the overall management solution by allowing the administrators to make decisions on how to segment the network into a set on AMZs and then applying the different management processes accordingly.

The SM-Pro application package then runs a single management process that typically is centred around a common management process that implements a specific management solution.

A common process to mention here is one that learns about the interfaces and ports on each device in terms of their types, administrative and operative statuses, speeds, transmission units, and IP addresses (Again, when configured). The  processes Part number is SM-Pro-InterfaceStats for the system and interfaces data.

SmartMIB’s SM-Pro-InterfaceStats Package also collects statistics from devices and calculates Utilization and Throughput on all or selected data interfaces and ports and updates Real-Time Reports; Summarizing older data for Historical Reports. Utilization calculation accuracy is enhanced over classical Calculations by means of binding the timestamp from the device itself as opposed to the inaccurate use of the system clocks of the Network Manager’s host servers. Furthermore, each managed device could be checked if it was rebooted or the data counters wrapped on consecutive Utilization calculation points before it is certified as a valid utilization point to be reported.

The If-Stats management script collects statistics from devices and calculates Traffic Payload-To-Overhead Ratio as well as statistics on percentage Fragmented and Re-Assembled Packets; and most importantly it calculates the percentage of Management Packets to the total number of packets.

It could also collect statistics from devices on the number of Unicast Packets to Broadcast Packets and Multicast packets as well as the number of errors and discards.

Another interesting processes are ones that reports, in real time, on the statuses of Network device Interfaces/Ports, device resources, and device services running. It most importantly reports the Routing Topology and Routing Topology changes for industry standard protocols like OSPF, and/or BGP4.

The above processes Part numbers are SM-Pro-OSPF for the system and interfaces data plus OSPF and SM-Pro-BGP4 for the system and interfaces data plus the BGP4

management process solution. All those solutions and more case studies as well are presented in the management solution presentations and in the case studies sections.

Monitored data and devices are presented in the popular Crystal reports and could also be presented in HTML text reports that are plotted on graphical charts -if applicable- as well as on a Topology Map interactively in the next version to be released.
