Description

A kind of method of network management security authentication
Technical field
The present invention relates to network security technology, be specifically related to a kind of method of network management security authentication, especially, relate to method based on the network management security authentication of SNMP V1/V2.
Background technology
Network security is an organic component of system safety, and network security mainly comprises the fail safe (safety of physical layer, link layer) of physical circuit, the network equipment, the fail safe aspects such as (safety of network layer, transport layer) of TCP (transmission control protocol)/IP (internet protocol).The hidden danger that exists aspect the network equipment is bigger, at first is the fail safe of physical equipment itself, and this can control by various management means; Next is the fail safe of network service, and for example: the disabled user can cause physical equipment excellent by being remotely logged into the destruction of carrying out system configuration or ios software on the router/switch, but can not carry out the function of route/local area network (LAN) exchange.Therefore, monitor and control i.e. network management network.According to the definition of International Organization for Standardization, network management has five big categories:
(1) fault management: to the process that the problem in the network or fault position, it comprises pinpoints the problems, separation problem, finds out reason, reparation problem.
(2) configuration management: find and be provided with the process of the network equipment, it comprises the information that obtains the current network configuration, and the means of remotely modifying configuration are provided, and stores to safeguard up-to-date equipment list and produce report.
(3) accounting management: follow the tracks of each individual and group to the operating position of Internet resources, it is collected rational expense; And increased the network manager uses Internet resources to the user understanding.
(4) safety management: control is to the process of the message reference in the network.
(5) performance management: the performance of hardware and software in the Measurement Network, for sub-district access network of certain scale, make whole network can keep good running status, perfect network management is absolutely necessary.Simultaneously, good network management also should be able to provide the various analyses of network operation situation, thereby provides reliable foundation for the planning of extension of network.
In order to finish above-mentioned management function, a network management system has four big parts:
(1) a plurality of by the pipe agency;
(2) at least one manager;
(3) general NMP (as SNMP);
(4) management information bank (MIB).
Generally speaking, network management workstation is the manager, and other online machines are the agency.Manager and agency be machine also, as network management workstation.
The manager utilizes SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) request broker to carry out the collection and the setting of information.The agency obtains mib information according to gerentocratic SNMP request visit MIB management information bank, and the manager is done to reply or to change the content of asking to change among the MIB according to it.The agency also can initiatively send out data to the manager by self-trapping (Trap) when emergency is arranged.
SNMP is the industry-standard protocol that is widely accepted and comes into operation, and its target is to guarantee that management information transmits in any 2, is convenient to any node retrieving information of network manager on network, makes amendment trouble-shooting; Finish failure diagnosis, capacity planning and report generate.It adopts polling mechanism, and basic functions collection is provided.
The basic operation of SNMP comprises GET/GET-NEXT/SET/TRAP etc., network management workstation (NMS) sends various query messages to network equipment Agent (administration agent), and reception shows the result from response and trap (trap) message of managed device Agent.Agency (agent) is a process that resides on the managed device, is responsible for accepting, handling the request message from network management workstation, obtains the numerical value of management variable then on the slave unit in other protocol modules, forms response message, sends to NMS.At some in emergency circumstances, change as Interface status, in the time of access success etc., proactive notification NMS (sending trap TRAP message), its communication process is as shown in Figure 1.
SNMP V1/V2 is widely used in the network management-application at present, and it is verified by group's name and realizes that simple fail safe guarantees.Ordinary circumstance, a SNMP Agent has two CommunityName (group's name), and one only has read right, and another has access limit.When NMS sends a SNMP request message, the Community Name that the Agent program of managed devices sends according to webmaster differentiates the read/write authority that this SNMP request is had, if group's name authentication success then allow webmaster read/write corresponding M IB variable, otherwise will return the mistake of group's name authentification failure.SNMP V1/V2 protocol processes process as shown in Figure 2.Because the intrinsic shortage security mechanism of V1/V2 agreement, only rely on the Community Name that expressly transmits to discern user identity and have very big potential safety hazard, in the network transport process, be easy to be obtained its Community Name, make the hacker pretend webmaster managed devices is carried out the data change configuration by other human packet catcher; The V1/V2 agreement only relies on the character string of borrowing group's name to the identity of NMS user and relatively authenticates and also lack enough fail safes in addition.
Safety defect based on SNMP V1/V2 agreement, SNMP V3 agreement has increased based on user's safety management with based on the safety management of view, and message encryption, and fail safe has had large increase, but SNMP V3 implements difficulty, and present most of equipment is only supported SNMP V1/V2 agreement.
