Hands-On
Network Management ( SNMP & OSPF)
SNMP & OSPF
 
Course Description
In this Hands-On Network Management course, the student will work on a live SNMP and OSPF network reinforcing the discussed subject material . All the various concepts, techniques, terminology, conventions, and components of both SNMP management and OSPF route management and configuration will be discussed with the focus on making the student productive in hisher network environment.

A practical approach will be accomplished by building, adding, modifying, and troubleshooting an OSPF network in class. The instructor will introduce configuration and hardware faults into the network to assist the students in isolating and resolving network failures in an OSPF environment.
Students Will Learn
Target Audience
Individuals who want to learn the concepts and gain knowledge and practical Hands-On skills in the use of both SNMP based management systems and to install and maintain complex OSPF networks using Cisco routers. Also for those individuals that require to build and design SNMP agents for their products.
Prerequisites
Attendees should already be familiar with the TCPIP protocol, common operating systems and Routing and switching technologies in a network.

Equipment Requirements
(This apply's to our hands-on courses only)
BTS always provides equipment to have a very successful Hands-On course. BTS also encourages all attendees to bring their own equipment to the course. This will provide attendees the opportunity to incorporate their own gear into the labs and gain valuable training using their specific equipment.
Course Length
3 Days
