Network Management
 Broadband Services
The term broadband refers to high-speed internet access. Broadband is
different from dial-up internet service for several reasons, including the
following: Broadband service provides a higher-speed of data
transmission.
ATM Technology
A wide-area network (WAN) technology, asynchronous transfer
mode (ATM) is a transfer mode for switching and
transmission that efficiently and flexibly organizes
information into cells; it is asynchronous in the sense that the
recurrence of cells depends on the required or instantaneous bit
rate.
Broadband Services Network
Broadband provides high speed internet access via multiple
types of technologies including fiber optics, wireless, cable, DSL
and satellite.
ATM LAN Emulation (LANE)
LAN Emulation, also known as LANE, is an Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) technology that enables local area
network (LAN) traffic such as Ethernet frames to be carried
over an ATM network. LAN emulation (LANE) lets you use ATM
as a backbone for connecting LANs.
 LANE Protocol Architecture
LANE is a protocol that allows existing
networked applications and protocols to run over
an ATM backbone. LANs are connectionless while ATM is a
connection-oriented technology.
LUNI Interfaces
LANE user-to-network interface.
Management of LANE
A managed lane is a type of highway lane that is
operated with a management scheme, such as lane
use restrictions or variable tolling, to optimize traffic
flow, vehicle throughput, or both.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network to take
advantage of increased ATM transmission bandwidth. Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI)
Provides a mechanism for ATM-attached devices, such as hosts,
routers, and ATM switches, to transfer management information.
ATM Campus Network It is based on the SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol).

ATM can be used in WAN and campus networks. This chapter

discusses ATM campus networks; Chapter 11 discusses ATM
WAN networks. In a campus network, a designer can select
ATM as a backbone technology for connecting LANs. The
designer also has the option of recommending that workstations
be equipped with ATM NICs and protocol stacks.

 ATM MIB
Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
Network Element View
the Internet community. In particular, it describes objects used for
managing ATM-based interfaces, devices, networks and services. In computer networks, a network element is a manageable
logical entity uniting one or more physical devices. This
allows distributed devices to be managed in a unified way
using one management system.
SNMP and ILMI
ILMI is an ATM Forum standard that specifies the use of Network View
mechanisms and formats previously defined by the Simple
Network View is a compact and powerful discovery and network

thought of as a database of managed objects that the
agent tracks.
 The ATM Forum interface reference architecture identifies a series of management
interfaces numbered M1 through M5.
•M1 and M2 are the interfaces between a private NMS and either an end user or a private
network, respectively. The end user can be a workstation, ATM switch, or any ATM
device. A private ATM network is an enterprise network.
•A private network management system can access its own network related information in
a public network via an M3 interface to the public network management system.
•The public NMS responds to the private NMS via the M3 interface with the relevant
information or takes the action requested.
•The M4 interface is between the public NMS and the public network. The final interface,
M5, is between the NMSs of two service providers. The ATM Forum has not yet specified
this interface.
•The ATM framework defines five different M-interfaces for management
The Network Management Working Group of the ATM Forum has developed an end-to-end
generic management model that encompasses private and public networks and lays out
standards for interworking between them.
The model defines gateways between SNMP and CMIP systems, and between standards-
based and proprietary systems.
Five key management interfaces are defined in this model, labelled M1-M5.
M1 is concerned with the management of the end-user equipment connecting to either
private or public switches.
Private ATM network management is addressed through M1 combined with M2. M4 deals
with their public ATM switches and networks. M3 is the link between ii. private and public
networks, used for exchanging fault, performance and configuration information.
Finally, M5 supports interactions between any two public networks. The definition of these
interfaces allows a complete management service, ranging from a global view of the
network (M5 management interface) to the management of individual elements (M1
management interface).
In some cases, several management interfaces use the same information from a
management information base (MIB) tree, see Table1.

M1 Interface: Management of ATM Network
Element:
The M1 interface is between an SNMP
management system and an SNMP agent in
an ATM device.
Four entities, ifInNUcastPkts,
ifOutNUcastPkts, ifOutQLen, and ifspecific
have been deprecated. The interfaces
(interfaces) and ifMIB (IF MIB) groups
under the mgmt. node.
M1/M2 Interfaces and the ILMI Implementation:
Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI), which is an
implementation of the M I /M2 interfaces, enables the
exchange of status, configuration, accounting and control
information between any two ATM devices - such as two
ATM switches - across a user-to-network interface (UNI).
For ILMI to function, every ATM switch or network
terminator and every ATM network that deploys a public or
private network UNI must be equipped with a UNI
Management Entity (UME) which supports an ILMI MIB.
M3 Interface: Customer Network
Management of Public Networks :
The Customer Network Management
(CNM) interface defines the interaction
taking place between the customer and
carrier management systems in order to
give the customer a view into the carrier’s
network. Ultimately, carriers plan to extend
their CNM offerings so that network
managers will have real-time control over
the services they use.
M4 Interface: Public Network Management :
The management of public ATM network is
primarily the responsibility of network service
providers, carriers and Postal Telephone and
Telegraph (PTT) companies.
They have the challenge of not only managing
the public network, but also keeping up with
new technology.
