  Abstract

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard protocol for management of network devices, and it provides excellent features such as scalability, information management, authentication, encryption, and access control. However, SNMP has a structural weakness to fully support control functions for integrated management of digital convergence devices, and it has a limitation of message length in SNMP communication. In this paper, we present an extended SNMP scheme for integrated management of digital convergence devices with control functions. We modified the SNMP architecture by adding DDS (Device Driver Subsystem) to SNMP engine for controlling different devices and by defining CADM (Control Agent Driver Model), therefore we solved the ambiguity problem between ‘set’ and ‘control’ of SNMP. And the extended SNMP made it easy for SNMP applications to use various control functions. The extended SNMP can transport massive high-level information by adding three new SNMP commands which eliminate the limit of message length.
