COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Network management is perhaps the greatest challenge knocking at the corporate network door today. Organizations have seen their networks grow and now realize the worth of the network in their business.
The impact of a network failure on a business is also a fact, especially a network growing in complexity.
Because this network environment is important, organizations are beginning to arm themselves with network management tools capable of isolating faults; and better yet, discovering problems before they are experienced by the user population. A possible solution is the use of SNMP.
This seminar will focus on the practical aspects of SNMP and reinforce those concepts discussed with hands-on exercises.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

Read and interpret MIBI, MIBII and proprietary MIBs.
Configure SNMP agents in switches and routers and learn troubleshooting using protocol analyzers.
Examine MIB structure and object types and learn how to setup security using SNMPv3.
Examine the Protocol Structure of SNMP.
Setup security using acces-lists
Compare SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3
Work with SNMP enumeration and hacking tools
