Abstract:

The network management of wireless sensor networks(WSNs) is a new research field. The network management of WSNs will be very different from that of traditional computer networks. However, really little research on it can be found until now. In this paper, some studies on it are summarized and compared. Furthermore, a common network management system design based on the NETCONF protocol is given and is  deeply studied, and then many details with implementation such as data module, agent and the WSNNETCONF protocol are discussed sufficiently. Anyway, it is a good basis for network management systems’ construction.

Key words: wireless sensor network;network management;NETCONF protocol
