FCAPS is the (supposedly) ISO model for network management (See wiki
def at NameBright - Coming Soon). It is an acronym
for Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security...
Other misc definitions:

However, Forrester Research seems to think that FCAPS is obsolete (at a
cost of $99 to read other than the first sentence) unless you are a
registered Forrester client (I am not).

Other references do not deem it dead just yet.
