SNMP is known as the defacto standard for Network Monitoring. It sends snmp get_requests to networkingdevices and in return get_response is delivered to the SNMP managing device. A SNMP based network Monitoringsystem creates graphs for in/out traffic of a networking device. Thus it monitors the network and trends the graphs andnotifies the Network Admin of any intrusion or misbehavior in network. A denial of Service attack is when legitimateusers do not get to use the network they are destined for. Under such circumstances the network monitor should notifythe Network Admin. In this paper we will discuss a scenario when there is a TCP flooding based DOS attack on anetwork .We will see how our SNMP helps in detection of the attack and visualizing our network just by monitoring thetraffic and ping statistics of the switches which were used to design the network. Also we would collect historicinformation for base-lining and trending Purposes. We will monitor the network using Network Monitoring System whichworks on SNMP and then try to get some interesting results. Thus under such circumstances we will check performanceof SNMP based Network Monitor.
