Introduction

The major issue of administrator in big organization is hardware management. The work force of any organization includes hardware, if management of hardware not done properly then the work force may effect badly. Companies are investing lot of money on hardware management but they still not getting good results. Why? Because they do not automate it, if they automate it there will be less chances of error.

Inventory management is one of the main issues of mature industry. We also solve this problem by introducing auto registry. This system will register the workstation automatically as it plugged in to the network. If configuration of any hardware changes it will update it after the authentication of the administrator.

If the location of workstation is changed then administrator can update the system description, contact information etc. from server.

This report covers all the phases involved in the development of this software. Explaining each separately, chapter wise. Consists of 7 chapters, covering different aspects of the project.

Analysis and designing are considered the major phases in the development of any software. If not done properly, can result in a bad product and non conformance to requirements. Analysis and designing is given proper attention to avoid major bugs in later stages of development. Chapter 2 of this report highlights project planning done through data collection and various other techniques and designing steps for developing the software.

This is followed by chapter 3, which explains aims and objective followed by analysis phase in chapter 4. Another important area that is usually not paid attention to is feasibility analysis in terms of technical and operational feasibility has been covered in chapter 5.

Chapter 6 gives the task break up in implementing the software and explains each. Every software / product is incomplete with out thorough testing. Chapter 7 of this report explains the various important pieces of the software, which were tested, their expected and actual results. Conclusion and future work in the end terminates the report.

References in the end give the reader, a list of websites, books and people referred in completing this report / product. The report has been written in a form, which would help the reader of technical or non technical background in clearly understanding the software and also as a guide in further enhancing its features.

1.2 Background of Snmp

The background study that has been carried out for proper analysis of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is as follows.

1.2.1 SNMP Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was introduced in 1988 to meet the growing need for a standard for managing internet protocol (IP).SNMP provides its user with a “simple” set of operations that allows these devices to be managed remotely. Many kinds of devices support SNMP including routers, witches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). The way you can use SNMP range from the mundane to the exotic: it’s fairly simple to use SNMP to monitor the health of your routers, switches and other pieces of network hardwares, but you can also use it to control your network devices and even send pages or take other automatic action if problem arise.

SNMP usually associated
