Understanding SNMP, Including SNMPv3


OVERVIEW

To manage communication systems and networks, a rich set of tools and applications are available. These tools use the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and the related RMON (Remote Monitoring) specification to exchange information with the different network components.
The course provides an in-depth coverage of the SNMP and RMON management framework. Concepts of MIB (Management Information Base) and SMI (Structure of Management Information) are explained. A detailed study of the numerous security features of SNMPv3 is presented, including the VACM (View-based Access Control Model) and USM (User-based Security Model).

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • Understand the structure of the Management Information Base.
  • Being able to use SNMP to manage and monitor the different network components.
  • Fully understand the security aspects and configuration of SNMPv3.
