What Is Fcaps Network Management?
Fcaps means Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security and are the management categories in the framework of the Fcaps network management. The IT department or information technology department is in charge of this type of Fcaps network management because this management is for the continuous running of all the systems and networks. The MTTR or mean time to repair should be as short as possible to avoid system downtime where there could possible loss of a lot of money.
The factors that make up the Fcaps network management are protocols that the IT professionals follow in their analysis of the infrastructure of the companies systems and network. The Fcaps network management system is like the audit process of a person's taxes. You find the fault, if any, then you configure to the proper format, then you tally up the correct numbers, then you create the performance or correct document, and then you secure the information by sending it to the IRS.
The fault management of the Fcaps network management system is any event that has a negative significance to the network. The goal of the fault management is to recognize the fault, isolate the fault, correct the fault and log the faults that occur in the network. Usually when a fault occurs, a network component will send a notification to the network operator so the process can be started to determine what the fault is and what caused it.
The configuration management in the Fcaps network management system has goals that include gathering and storing configurations from network devices, simplifying the configuration device, tracking changes which are made to the configuration, and configuring circuits or paths through non-switched networks. The accounting management in the Fcaps network management system is sometimes referred to as administration management or billing management. It's goal is to gather statistics for users so they can be billed and the usage quota can be enforced. The performance management of the Fcaps network management system helps the manager of the network to prepare for the future and also view the performance of the network as it sits. This network performance includes the throughput, percentage utilization, error rates, and the response times areas. The Security management of the Fcaps network management system is the process of controlling access to all areas of the network. Authentication and encryption are the most widely used data security protocols.
