ABSTRACT
Automated Network Administration Tool (ANAT) is an innovative tool for managing the network automatically and executing the commands on the Gateway machines and restricting access to server machines on the network for different users in the network. Now a day, there are many tools available for network monitoring and management. But ANAT provides a unique way of managing the network, that is, automatic network management based on the three main constraints like time, host, and user. This automatic administration relieves the administrator from his usual tedious task.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Automated Network Administration Tool (ANAT) is an innovative tool for managing a network automatically in the absence of an administrator. ANAT is used for executing the commands on the Gateway machines and restricting access to server machines on the network for different users in the network.
In Automated Network Administration tool an algorithm is developed for the purpose of automatically managing the network based on the criteria like Time, Host and User. This algorithm will restrict the access of the user to applications or resources on a system according to the access control rules set by the administrator. As a part of network management packet filtering, packet blocking etc. are done. Firewalls are activated and deactivated and Packet redirecting is developed according to the requirement of the Network administrator.
