Abstract
The management tasks which have been traditionally employed over traditional wired networks should also play a key role for ensuring the proper operation of the so-called Personal Networks, with certain particular characteristics which make their management quite a complex task. Amongst all the challenges which need to be coped with, there is one which outstands over the rest, being ensuring an autonomous operation, qualifying them as self-* manageable/configurable/... networks. This paper analyzes, over a hierarchical/distributed management architecture, defined to be used over personal networks, the performance of a discovery mechanism by means of which agents are able to locate managers, and associate to them. A complete implementation of the whole architecture has been made in the framework of the ns-2 simulator (based on SNMP), including the mechanisms and procedures required to handle the discovery and association between managers and agents.
