Management of Computer Networks

Lectures of the proposed syllabus followed by the development of practical systems administration TCP/IP for Unix systems.

The goal of the discipline Computer Network Management is to equip students with an understanding of the main problems faced by a manager of systems and networks and to empower them to devise technical solutions in this area. Initially solutions are analyzed underlying management systems and networked systems based on the architecture of the Internet TCP/IP. The following is a detailed analysis of the main services of TCP/IP networking and administration (DNS, DHCP, Electronic Mail – SMTP, POP, IMAP – HTTP, resource sharing Samba). Analyzed are simple tools of network management, audit and inventory to a network.
In addition, practical lessons, students develop systems administration activities TCP / IP.
