Fault Detection, High Availabilityv, Network Management, OSPF, PRTG, SNMPAbstract
This article implements the integration of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to increase the availability of the Internet service and send alarms for fault detection, since nowadays in educational or corporate institutions it is important to maintain the continuity of the Internet service. The methodology implemented is of experimental type using a test bench in the network laboratory two FortiGate equipment were used with the objective of simulating two internet outlets with different providers maintaining a convergence through the OSPF protocol, thus guaranteeing high availability. In the tests performed, an average convergence time of 8,46 seconds was obtained. For fault detection and sending notifications, the PRTG service was used, which sends messages via email and Telegram, providing detailed information and proving to be an efficient integration to increase the availability of the internet service and notify failures for a prompt response and solution.
