A Novel Technique of Network Auditability with Managers In The Loop

Network management requires a large amount of knowledge about the network. In particular, knowledge about used network addresses, access time, and topology is useful. In a network composed of managed devices, much of the data necessary can come from simple network management protocol (SNMP) queries....

In particular, knowledge about used network addresses, access time, and topology is useful. In a network composed of managed devices, much of the data necessary can come from simple network management protocol (SNMP) queries. Other data can come from other databases, or analysis of existing data. In particular, layer-two network topology can be determined by analyzing the mac address forwarding tables of layer-two devices. The layer-two topology can be merged with a layer-three topology to generate a complete topology of the network. This information is useless unless it is easily accessible to the network manager; therefore, a simple interface should be used to give access to all of this data. 2008-12-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/115 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1114&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
