network management
     
         the process of controlling a network so as to
        maximise its efficiency and productivity.  iso's model
        divides network management into five categories: fault
        management, accounting management, configuration
        management, security management and performance
        management.
     
        fault management is the process of identifying and locating
        faults in the network.  this could include discovering the
        existence of the problem, identifying the source, and possibly
        repairing or at least isolating the rest of the network from
        the problem.
     
        configuration management is the process of identifying,
        tracking and modifying the setup of devices on the network.
        this category is extremely important for devices that come
        with numerous custom settings e.g. routers and file
        servers.
     
        security management is the process of controlling granting,
        limiting, restricting or denying access to the network and
        resources thereon.  this could include setting up and managing
        access lists in routers creating "firewalls" to keep
        intruders out, creating and maintaining password access to
        critical network resources, identifying the points of entry
        used by intruders and closing them.
     
        performance management is the process of measuring the
        performance of various network components.  this also includes
        taking measures to optimise the network for maximum system
        performance periodically measuring of the use of network
        resources.
