Where can I find more information about network management?

There are a number of sites with network management information on the World Wide Web. Some of the most useful are

   http://www.simpleweb.org/
http://www.snmplink.org/
http://www.mibdepot.com/

The SNMP Usenet newsgroup is now mostly defunct, but although the FAQ hasn't been updated for a while, it still contains a large amount of useful information relating to SNMP, including books, software, other sites, how to get an enterprise number, etc, etc. This is available from

   ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.protocols.snmp/

or via any of the Web sites above.
