Common model for network management - FCAPS, which stands for Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security Management

## Fault Management
Goal = detect, log, and notify users of systems or networks of problems
1. Isolate the problem by using tools to determine symptoms
2. Resolve the problem
3. Record the process that was used to detect and resolve the problem

## Configuration Management
Goal = monitor network and system config information so that the effects on network operation of various versions of hardware and software elements can be tracked and managed

## Accounting Management
Goal = ensure that computing and network resources are used fairly by all groups or individuals who access them
(this way, network problems can be minimized since resources are divided based on capacities)

## Performance management
Goal = measure and report on various aspects of network or system performance

## Security management
Goals=
1) control access to some resource, such as a network and its hosts
2) help detect and prevent attacks that can compromise networks and hosts

Security management also includes physical security
