An ontology-based approach to improve SNMP support for autonomic management

The SNMP protocol remains a broadly adopted technology in the Internet management framework and its MIB was proposed to guarantee interoperation. In order to enable the management of new equipment, the human manager must compile the correlated MIB file (MIB description) and choose the right objects to manage an implicit knowledge. This paper presents an ontology-based approach and a Semantic SNMP extension, to improve the framework's autonomic support.
