The traditional centralized network management method using the SNMP has problems, such as, increase of communication traffic and severe bottleneck phenomena at the specific manager-node caused by a frequent polling mechanism. Several mobile agent based network management methods have been studied to solve and overcome these problem. However, in these mobile agent based methods, as the number of nodes to be managed is increased, the mobile data are increased accumulatively and the effectiveness of the network management is decreased. In this paper, we propose the split management method by using mobile agents to handle these problems. In our method, the nodes are divided into groups to be handled by separate mobile agents. Each mobile agent visits its own nodes and gets management information from them. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method using experimental results.
