Network Management

Base knowledge of computers networks and network equipment configuration (routers, switches).

The students start by learning the role and importance of the network management and manager. Following this a set of knowledge about the standards and models of network management is provided. Then the main network management tool is studied in a deep way, as well as a set of applications that use that tool. All knowledge are consolidated with a set of practical experiments done in the practical class using network equipment similar to the one used in great corporations.

Allow the students to acquire knowledge about Network Management techniques in open and integrated environments as well as their familiarization with the use of proper tools in the OSI Management Network world.
