Abstract: It is hard to imagine a contemporary world without tools helping in fast and efficient communication. A fundament of the modern communication is created by network infrastructure. Safety and reliability constitute main requirements for the network infrastructure, especially in the industry usage. Network technologies are helpful in achieving this condition. The author of this publication described the redundant Ethernet ring and proposed a method of the ring status control with the use of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Next, taking this method into account, the author developed network management software. In this article, the functionality of this software, with attention paid at diagnostics of the status ring, has been described. Verification of a practical method of the ring status control has proven its usefulness. It allows creating diagnostic software compatible with managed devices developed by various producers.
Key words: Network Management Software, Redundant Ethernet Ring, Reliability, Fault localization.
