  1. Course Outline Network Management Spring 2018 Bahador Bakhshi CE & IT Department, Amirkabir University of Technology

  2. What This Course Is • You all know what network management is  • Configure and monitor computer networks • So, what are you doing here? • This course: • A systematic approach to network management • Organize your mind about network management • Who is who? What is what? • Why & How? • This is an engineering course • You will learn practical technologies & standards

  3. What This Course Is Not • A pure scientific/math/theory course • If you love complicated theories, proof, formulations, …, unfortunately, this course is going to be boring for you  • Specific network management system class • While we will use NM tools in HWs; however, we don’t focus on specific NM system • Hard to understand concepts • Almost all technologies are easy to learn • But, really hard to implement in real network!!

  4. Course Advantages • We study and understand technologies that are used in real networks • We don’t discuss about pure abstract problems • An engineering course • Use these technologies in industry • Better resume: SNMPv1&2&3, FCAPS, eToM, … • More job opportunities (more money ) • (Usually) Technologies are easier than sciences • High course grade if you want 

  5. Course Possible Disadvantages • We study technologies • Technologies have limited life time • Our knowledge will expire • Some programming languages & technologies may not be used 10 years later • However, the concepts of NM have very long life time • Network management uses many technologies • We need to learn many things • Too many slides & book chapters

  6. What We Will Learn • Main question: How are large networks (Service provider, Big Enterprise, Telecos) are managed? • To answer this question, we need the answer of • Q1) What is the network management? • Q2) What is its architecture? • Agents, Protocols, NMS, Organization • Q3) What are the common NM protocols? • Q4) Which functions are performed in NMS? • Q5) Which parts of an agent is composed of? • Q6) Which processes in integrated NMS? • Q7) What is new in NM?

  7. Tentative Syllabus • Fundamental of network management • Introduction: What, Why, Who, and Challenges (Q1) • Architecture & Dimensions (Q2) • Protocols (Q3) • Syslog, SNMP, IPFIX, Netconf, … • Functions (Q4) • FCAPS • NMS integration and NM Processes (Q6) • Management in SDN/NFV (Q7) • SNMP v1&v2&v3 (Q3 & Q5)

  8. Course Policies • Textbook & References • Five books • Not whole books , some chapters per topic • For exams • Course slides & the reference chapters • Per topic, there is a list of other references • Same courses in other universities • These are optional reading • 15% penalty per day for late submission

  9. Course Policies (cont’d) • Course homepage • Course slides, announcements, grades, HWs, … • ceit.aut.ac.ir/~bakhshis/NM • Books & references are on CE fileserver • \\fileserver\common\Bakhshi\Network Management

  10. Course Policies: Grading • 3 or 4 Homework (~ 30%) • Most are practical • Need to install & run & report NM SW • Midterm (~ 35%) • Final (~ 35%)
