In this thesis we will discuss how to design a business model to satisfy customers’ complicated network needs, to increase the elasticity of enterprise information applications, to create its business value, and to decrease the risks and cost of business management when ISPs provide enterprise VPN service. When ISPs provide this service, it has to be more professional and more systematical in the process of planning, implementation, maintenance, and management of enterprise network, then it could decrease the risk and cost. It is the important topic to create value of the business by providing VPN service. This thesis implements VPN services to enterprise. It is based on MPLS VPN technology combined with Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) technology, and applied to the configuration management, fault and performance management of enterprise VPN services. At the end, we implement the prototype of this network management system, and make evaluation of this system. The user interface of network management system is web based. It is convenient for users to operate, combined with auto-configuration that improves the efficiency of manual configuration. The time spent on manual configuration is 10 times to auto-configuration when ISPs implement single node for enterprise VPN. In fault and performance management, we can use graphic to show customers’ network topology and performance status. It also informs relative persons by short message and E-mail.
