Please verify and correct answer about FCAPS model

[weerapatr]

Hi Folk ,pls help

New question(drag and drop):

Match the definitions with the appropiate terms:

Definitions:

1. AAA services are provided by asinchronous communications server and comitted access rate.

2. A large amount of data must be gathered from many sources and processed into usable form.

3. There is a larger number of data sources, and it is necessary to gather meaningful data.

4. Changing just one parameter on multiple access points cn be challenging

5. You need to ensure that there is adequate throughput and utilization from many access points

Terms:

Fault Monitoring

Configuration

Accounting

Performance

Security

Thank in advance

I hope I win a good prize for this. I personally think FCAPS is just something similiar to ITIL. Something to aim for but don't waste too much money on it. The definitions don't actually fit well with the many documented FCAPS models.

1: Security

2: None of the above in my opinion.

3: Fault Monitoring

4: Configuration

5: Performance or Accounting.

The first depends on your viewpoint. AAA means authentication, authorization, and accounting. Go figure. People use it for security.

The second has nothing to do with FCAPS unless you are trying to get stats for network performanace and therefore, accounting.

The fifth also means you need accounting to ensure there is adequate usage for users.

Who said it was simple.
