Abstract

The research focuses on designing and implementing a system for managing incoming server traffic using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The essence of the method is to provide a real-time monitoring system that empowers network managers to oversee all network activities efficiently. The key difference of the developed system lies in using the SNMP protocol to monitor and control the network without needing a third-party tool. The proposed approach addresses administrators' common network challenges, including inefficient bandwidth utilization and complex network resource monitoring. Upon implementation, the system gathered essential network equipment information from the Management Information Base (MIB). The research results indicate that the SNMP-based network management system prevents network devices from reaching their allotted bandwidth limits. The system notably reduces CPU utilization from 28 % to 8 % and decreases bandwidth usage from 1.7 MiB/s to 260 bytes/s. Additionally, the system's alerting capability enhances the network's resilience against incoming traffic anomalies that may otherwise interrupt server operations. An example of using the proposed system to manage incoming server traffic in small networks. It has several practical uses in managing and maintaining network infrastructure in different fields. Also, it enables real-time monitoring of network devices, resource management, fault detection, and performance optimization. The system can be used in small organizations to monitor network performance, track faults, and manage network resources efficiently. In addition, SNMP-based network monitoring systems can find applications in almost any field where networked devices and infrastructure require monitoring, management, and optimization
