Editing Network management

{{Short description|Discipline of administering and managing computer networks}}

'''Network management''' is the process of [[system administrator|administering]] and managing [[computer network]]s. Services provided by this discipline include fault analysis, performance management, [[Provisioning (telecommunications)|provisioning]] of networks and maintaining [[quality of service]]. [[Network management software]] is used by [[network administrator]]s to help perform these functions.

==Technologies==
A small number of accessory methods exist to support network and network device management. Network management allows IT professionals to monitor network components within large network area. Access methods include the [[Simple Network Management Protocol|SNMP]], [[command-line interface]] (CLI), custom [[XML]], [[Common Management Information Protocol|CMIP]], [[Windows Management Instrumentation]] (WMI), [[Transaction Language 1]] (TL1), [[CORBA]], [[NETCONF]], [[RESTCONF]] and the [[Java Management Extensions]] (JMX).

Schemas include the [[Structure of Management Information]] (SMI), [[YANG]], [[Web-Based Enterprise Management|WBEM]], the [[Common Information Model (computing)|Common Information Model]] ([[CIM Schema]]), and [[MTOSI]] amongst others.

== Value ==
Effective network management can provide positive strategic impacts. For example, in the case of developing an infrastructure, providing participants with some interactive space allows them to collaborate with each other, thereby promoting overall benefits. At the same time, the value of network management to the strategic network is also affected by the relationship between participants. Active participation, interaction and collaboration can make them more trusting of each other and enhance cohesion.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Azevedo |first=Ana Cláudia |last2=Boaventura |first2=João Maurício Gama |last3=Wegner |first3=Douglas |last4=Giglio |first4=Ernesto Michelangelo |last5=Boari |first5=Cristina |date=2023-01-01 |title=Network management and value creation in strategic networks: evidence from Brazil |url=https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/mbe-05-2022-0064/full/html |journal=Measuring Business Excellence |volume=27 |issue=3 |pages=364–378 |doi=10.1108/MBE-05-2022-0064 |issn=1368-3047|hdl=11585/962333 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
