System and method for managing of network failure

PURPOSE: A fault management system and method in network management is provided to avoid a duplicate collection of fault data by executing communication by using a standardized protocol through a common collection unit, without using the sub collection unit of each network management unit. CONSTITUTION: A fault management system in network management comprises a network management unit(10), a collection control unit(20), a GUI(Graphic User Interface) unit, and a collection unit(30). The network management unit(10) requests a fault management service together with a fault management option for a network equipment, receives the fault data corresponding to the service request from the collection unit(30), and judges the state of the network equipment. The network management unit(10) transmits its own information to the collection control unit(20) together with a fault management option in order to receive fault data from the collection unit(30). The collection control unit(20) determines and processes permission or rejection for a service request received from the network management unit(10). The collection unit(30), if service request information is delivered from the collection control unit(20), creates fault data according to a fault management option, based on primitive fault data, and transfers the fault data to the network management unit(10).
