Managing OS/390 TCP/IP with SNMP

This redbook addresses the major networking issues facing many large enterprises today: how to manage IP resources on an OS/390 system and how to manage all IP resources in an IP network from an OS/390 system.

System Network Architecture (SNA) was the predominant network architecture for OS/390 systems and as the shift from this hierarchical structure to the heterogeneous peer-to-peer TCP/IP environment takes place, it becomes necessary for the network management infrastructure to adapt to the changing environment. The enterprise of today increasingly relies more on TCP/IP for both the network environment and applications. Effective and timely host management is essential for maintaining reliability and availability.

This redbook provides information that will help a network administrator to implement and configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) function of Communications Server for OS/390 IP Services and Tivoli NetView for OS/390.

The SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3) function of CS for OS/390 provides a secure management environment that allows an OS/390 host to become a managed and/or managing node within the enterprise. Tivoli NetView for OS/390 provides a powerful, centralized interface for managing IP nodes regardless of which platform it is running on. In this redbook you will find many examples from the ITSO environment that will assist in managing OS/390 TCP/IP with SNMP.
