Background of the Study
Network management is critical for maintaining the functionality, efficiency, and security of university networks. As universities rely on digital systems for teaching, research, and administrative activities, network performance, uptime, and security are paramount. Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, provides a complex network environment that supports a wide range of academic and non-academic services. However, effective network management practices are essential to ensure that the university’s network infrastructure operates at optimal performance, with minimal disruptions (Musa et al., 2024).
Good network management encompasses the monitoring, configuration, optimization, and security of network devices, ensuring that all components work together efficiently and securely. It also involves maintaining network availability, preventing downtime, and identifying issues before they affect the users. In an academic institution, poor network management can lead to significant disruptions in learning, research, and communication.
This study will evaluate the network management practices in place at Federal University, Lafia, Nasarawa State, to identify strengths and weaknesses and suggest improvements for optimizing the university’s network operations.
