The wireless network management system has become a good helper for compound networks.

There are many problems with network convergence. A set of corresponding wireless network management systems are born, and the management system of compound networks is based on wireless management. It is a good news for every network administrator.

Integrate existing wired and wireless network management systems

As enterprises are increasingly dependent on wireless networks, they must migrate their network operation centers to large Ethernet port-centric tools and processes. In integrated wired and wireless networks, faulty devices and influencing factors can no longer be located through the port number, and the fault repair personnel cannot track the identified traffic path.

In addition, as key applications are migrated to the mobile environment, failure repair requests and slow change orders must be stopped in different support teams. When problems or attacks occur, they must be quickly diagnosed and corrected. This requires innovation in the human process and the use of wired and wireless management systems and end-to-end visibility and control tools.

Integrate existing wired and wireless network management systems

Wireless Management has always needed experts and tools for 802.11 of technologies. Supporting 802.11 of the traffic and RF spectrum analyzer is still important to diagnose the deactivation caused by signal weakening caused by interference and client distance. Self-managed WLAN controllers and adaptive AP still need real-time response, automatically select a smoother channel, adjust the power supply, focus the stream on a single client, and apply the load balancing and bandwidth consumption Fairness Algorithms. % However, managing an integrated wired and wireless network with mobile services requires a wider perspective. For a long time, wired NMS has relied on the analysis of Wired switches and vro management interfaces. It uses SNMP commands, event forwarding, and direct communication through the Telnet/SSH console. Enterprise wireless controllers and APS can be integrated in a similar way with existing NMS.

Integrated Element Management/NMS is an important start because it allows both wired and wireless events to be reproduced in context and investigated through analysis queries from the console.

User-Aware Wireless Network Management System

Integrated networks can use network management tools for more efficient management. These tools are indeed able to understand the internal relationships between wired and wireless devices, users, and roles, it is not just a port or a static path.

For example, for wireless networks, NMS cannot only collect events from switches, WLAN controllers, and APS, but must perform automatic root cause analysis. Why? Mobile users who report accidental problems may encounter RF interference, problems with roaming methods, traffic forwarding through an overloaded controller or switch, or problems with server critical values or deactivation. The user's location, AP, and channel may have changed as the Help Desk becomes anxious to solve the problem.

In the future, network management tools should automatically initialize fault repair Based on the location, location, and connection time when the problem occurs. By accepting both wired and wireless events at the same time, the user-centered location-aware management tool can quickly narrow down the problem scope and reduce the time wasted on trial and test problems, IT also helps IT personnel discover the impact of mobility.

Ideally, the repair tool should also be extended to the network edge. Although it may be sufficient to PING or track the route of the wired client, the help desk staff usually need more control and understanding of the wireless client. Wireless tasks such as verifying complex 802.1X and driver settings make it easier to run management agents on the client or support remote session control. However, in fact, the Help Desk's visibility into the client can shorten the problem solving time and is not affected by the connection type.
