| Abstract | This paper describes an architecture for managing a token-ring local area network, possibly consisting of several token rings joined by MAC-layer bridges in a network containing several communication subsystems. A four-tier network management hierarchy, consisting of stations, management servers, a token-ring LAN manager, and a communications network manager is presented. Stations participate in the management of the LAN by monitoring themselves and their neighboring stations. Management servers collect configuration and error reports from stations on a single ring segment. The LAN manager can coordinate the activities of the different management servers on its local ring and on rings other than its own, but within one local area network. If the token-ring local area network is part of a larger communications network, possibly a wide-area network, another tier, the communications network manager, is required to provide network-wide management capabilities. An example network configuration is presented in this paper and various scenarios involving the management of that network are described. |
