Understanding Communication Networks Management Responsibilities
Communication Networks Management involves maintaining network stability, monitoring for issues, tracking resources, implementing corrective procedures, and more. It includes functions like monitoring, planning, deployment, and coordination of network resources. Various methods are used for network management, such as software agents, activity log files, and SNMP.

Communication Networks Management: Refers to the activities, methods, procedures, and tools related to operate, manage, maintain, and control resources for network systems. it includes the following responsibilities: Maintaining the stability of the network performance (and the services provided by the network) to work smoothly. Monitoring the network to discover problems as soon as possible, before users are affected. 1. 2. 2
3. Tracking resources in the network and how they joined the network. 4. Fixing and developing the network continuously to maintain its performance. For example: Exchanging old network devices. When new devices (such as Switch) is added to the network. 3
6. Implementing corrective and preventive procedures to increase the network performance, such as: modifying the control parameters (Configuration) of network device. 7. controlling resources in the network to support a particular service. Example: setting up the network so that users can have new service such as voice. 4
Functions that are implemented as part of the network management include: Monitoring, planning ,allocation, deployment, coordination of network resources Network planning, Directing the traffic of the data to balance the load of data in the network. Encryption key distribution. Setting management. Fault management Security management Performance management Bandwidth management 5

The data are collected to manage the network using different methods as follows: Software agents installed on infrastructure of the network Activity log files Spyware Sniffer Real monitoring by the user. 7
SNMP is an acronym for "Simple Network Management Protocol" SNMP is one of the seventh layer (Application Layer) protocols, the layer that is used by the network management system to monitor devices connected to the network. SNMP is part of the Internet protocol package. 8
