AUTOMATED NETWORK FAULT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (ANFIS)

The aim of this project is to develop a system that identify faults in network
environment automatically and suggest possible actions to be taken to attend the
problem, besides managing the network device. Basically in a network environment,
the faults occurred and being detected eventually by the users or the NA. However,
there are existing systems which could be used to detect errors in LANenvironment.
But mostly the scope of the existing system is far bigger and aimed to cater the need
of network configuration in bigger organization. It is much more complex and
complicated for smaller office which content a simple network configuration such as
one-floor office workplace. For the project, the scope is within a simple network
configuration with basic network appliances attached to the network environment.
The project focuses more on single-floor office workplace area and simple network
functions being done in the LANenvironment. Basically, the NMS developed will use
one of network protocols named SNMP to monitor and gather information from
network devices in monitoring and identifying error in the network. All errors being
identified based on network appliances' behavior in the LAN environment. Once the
errors have been detected, the NMS then will suggest possible solutions for the
problems occurred and prompt it to the NA. The project's research is basically
focusing more on analyzing the trap messages to identify the criticality of the network
faults occurred in the network environment, besides also focusing on dividing
network environment areas to analyze and categorized each fault that might possibly
occur.
