Embedded devices are confined to be agents although they have been deployed in network management system for decades. We shed light on this situation by designing and implementing a new full-featured embedded network management system. On one hand, this system can still be an agent; on the other hand, this system provides a friendly GUI and I/O devices such as mouse and keyboard, which allows administrators to conveniently monitor and configure the managed equipment. The new system is developed on ARM with Linux using multithreading method, and it is deployed on ROADM equipment in optical network. SNMP is applied to be the network management protocol.
Based on analyzing EPON Network architectures and EPON Network Management functional requirements, this paper designed an EPON Network management System according to configuration management, performance management, fault management, topology management, security management and log management, and achieved a system based on RIA technology and B/S mode. The client was written based on Flex framework and the server was written by JAVA. A middleware technology was used between client and server for communicating. Through the B/S mode and SNMP, the system has achieved a series of management functions of EPON network.
