Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and Implementation

Network Management, MIBs and MPLS: Principles, Design and Implementation
Prentice Hall PTR | 416 pages | 2003 | ISBN: 0131011138 | PDF | 1.6 mb

Mr. Morris has done a great job of taking network management concepts and burrowing down into the details of how it all actually works. He lifts the haze of confusion that often surrounds MIBs and their implementation in NMS applications, and then ties in one of the hot new network technologies, MPLS, so that one can see how network management actually works with this and other IP-based protocols. Good job! Its a good book overall but there was lot of topics this book fails to cover.
Pros.
* Explaining standard MPLS mibs.
* Lot of material good for beginner
* SNMP code
* Sample buildout of a simple MPLS network
* Only chapter that is useful is Chapter 8 and a bit in 9.
Cons.
* Explaining standard MIBs just on the froth, no in depth analyis or things like relationships between MIB values in different tables.
* Only few chapters useful for a person already in OSS domain.
* SNMP code again is for beginners and they are a big eyewash.
* The book has been stretched out to write 300 odd pages. Not worth the cost.
* Chapters 5,6,7 were not useful.
I recomend this book for absolute novices in this area. And to others the book is not worth the money you will pay for.
BTW. MPLS Network management from Thomas Nadeau is a lot better.
