Abstract :
In this paper we describe a distributed and dynamic architecture for network management of a heterogeneous distributed system which we have implemented in order to perform network management of our local distributed system. The architecture is highly generic in nature and can be extended to a large heterogeneous network. The architecture is distributed in nature as it provides for multiple managers acting simultaneously. It is rendered dynamic by the utilization of mobile agents for the implementation of network management functionalities. The network managers in our architecture utilize client-server technology and/or mobile agent technology as and when required depending on the functionality implemented and their location. In this context we have implemented a Mobile Network Manager (MNM) which is a location independent network manager. Mobile agents are furnished by MAGENTA (Mobile AGENT environment for distributed Applications) which we have implemented for this purpose
