SNMP Based Disovery tool on Raspberry pi 2

Computer Engineering

In commercial industries, large scale computer networks are deployed. It is not feasible to manage these networks manually. Solution to this issue is Network Management System (NMS). However, the current NMS are too costly, complex to understand and needs to be configured by an operator level person. This paper proposes a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-based web application that handles automatic device discovery and devices monitoring for local network. This system is implemented on Single Board Computer (SBC). SBC used in this system is Raspberry Pi 2. Key contribution of this system is that it can be deployed at server side without making any major changes in existing server system. Main Purpose of using Raspberry Pi is that it has low investment and maintenance cost, affordable replacement and fulfills single operation requirement. It is Server based system, so it does not need to configure devices manually. Thus any number of hosts can be traced. In short, this web software along with hardware gives effective solution for managing and monitoring local networks.
