  • Patent number: 7047298
    Abstract: A system and method to manage a network by monitoring an interface of the network. The system comprises a poller, a server, and a database. The poller checks the interface through a poller query message to the interface. Upon suspected failure, the poller sends an alert signal to the server notifying the server that the interface may be failing. The server may send out a server query signal to the interface and monitor the response to determine if a failure occurred. The database contains information concerning the interface. When the server determines that the interface has failed, the server pulls information concerning the interface and sends an alarm signal to a client application module.

  • Patent number: 6539428
    Abstract: A system used to manage a network by monitoring at least one interface of the network comprises a poller, a server, and a database, all in communication with one another. The poller continuously checks the at least one interface of the network by continuously sending out a poller query message to at least one interface of the network. The poller suspects a first interface of at least one interface of failing when the poller does not receive a poller reply message in response to the query messages from the first interface within a first time period. The poller sends an alert signal to the server notifying the server that the first interface of the at least one interface may be failing when the poller suspects the first interface of the at least one interface is failing.
