Implementing and Administering CiscoWorks Training
Training Duration:
5 days
Training Outline:
CiscoWorks® is the flagship management tool for Cisco®. As networks grow, individual device control and management becomes increasingly problematic and resource intensive. CiscoWorks® brings the management of the entire enterprise to a centralized, graphical interface. The management of literally thousands of devices can be coordinated and controlled from a single desktop PC. This power simplifies but also adds in additional complexity because system admins need to not only understand the devices they are configuring but also how to best utilize CiscoWorks® in your environment.
ITdojo's custom CiscoWorks® training session is designed to bring the enormity and complexity of CiscoWorks® down to its most basic components with an analysis of the underlying protocols in use, the individual components of CiscoWorks® and their functional implementation in production networks. After coming to ITdojo's Implementing & Administering CiscoWorks® administrators will be able to:
- Install & Configure CiscoWorks® on Windows® Servers
- Integrate CiscoWorks® with 3rd party network managemnet tools like HP® OpenView
- Configure Device Discovery and Populate the CiscoWorks® database with Network Devices
- Use CiscoView® to graphically administer infrastructure devices
- Configure & Utilize Resource Manager Essentials (RME) to:
- Implement Inventory Management
- Push, pull & edit device configurations
- Manage software images
- Analyze syslog messages
- Gather and interpret device statistics
- Configure & Utilize Campus Manager to:
- Build physical and logical maps of the network
- Determine layer 2 & layer 3 data paths
- Determine the location of hosts & end users
- Use Device Fault Manager to monitor network assets for future failures
- Use Internetwork Performance Monitor to determine and test network connectivity statistics, response times and device availability
- Configure, Implement & Test Access-Control List Manager to centralize the management and deployment of ACLs in the enterprise
- Work with Real-Time Monitor gather and interpret network resource utilization
This training features a large number of practical, hands-on, exercises in a large lab network. The lab exercises will give you the ability to leverage the power of CiscoWorks® using:
- Cisco® Routers
- Cisco® Catalyst Switches
- Cisco® Aironet Access Points
When completed, you will have the ability to implement and administer CiscoWorks® for your production environment in a way that effective and efficient, allowing an organization to achieve the best return on its CiscoWorks® deployment.
Prerequisites:
CCNA® and/or Network Management experience are highly recommended. This seminars expects IT admins to be familiar with Cisco® device configuration.
