Does the FCAPS model still hold currency among network managers/engineers today?
What's FCAPS?
I suppose that answers the question whether FCAPS holds currency among network managers/engineers. It is an ITU-T developed network management model composed of Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security (FCAPS). Some people think it is a mandatory specification for how to manage a network; other people think it is an antiquated view of telecom network management; and yet other people think it is as relevant as the ISO 7-layer network model.
