RESUMO

Network management is formed by five functional areas: Failure, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security. The configuration area is responsible for the network s operation and maintenance, following the configuration changes done in each network s device. The main management tools available, CLI and SNMP, do not take care of the configuration requirements of current networks. New Web technologies are becoming widespread in network management, with prominence of XML language and HTTP protocol. A new protocol of configuration management named NETCONF has been defined, in the scope of the IETF, in order to apply these new technologies for configuration of networks. This work studies the NETCONF protocol aiming to highlight its advantages and limitations. This work also proposes an architecture of implementation for the NETCONF based on the transport protocol SOAP over HTTP, or HTTPs. Aiming to validate such architecture, we present the implementation of a prototype fully adherent to the NETCONF proposal, for which it has specified a model of data for configuration of VLANs of switches from different manufacturers
