Lab 2.5.3 Investigating Network Monitoring Software

Step 1: SNMP overviewSimple Network Management Protocol is a common network management protocol. The protocol enablesnetwork administrators to gather data about the network and corresponding devices. SNMP management system software is available in tools such as CiscoWorks. SNMP management agent software is often embedded in operating systems on servers, routers, and switches.SNMP has four main components:Management station Management agents Management Information Base...

Lab 2.5.2 Monitoring Network Performance

Step 1: Configure network connectivitya. Connect the devices in accordance with the given topology and configuration. Your instructor may substitute Discovery Server with an equivalent server for this lab.b. See your instructor regarding device configuration. If the devices are not configured from the Admin PC, establish a terminal session in turn to each switch and the router using HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. Configure these devices in accordance with the configuration...

Lab 2.1.6 Observing Traffic Using Cisco Network Assistant

Step 1: Establish the network baseline criteriaNetwork baselining is the measuring and rating of the performance of a network as it transports data in real time. A baseline is a type of “network snapshot” of the devices and their performance. Creating a baseline enables you to see the current network load and, by maintaining that baseline, identify network issues before they become critical. For example, with all the network routers baselined, including the CPU capability...

Lab 2.1.3 Creating a Project Plan

Step 1: Evaluate the current network, operations, and network management infrastructurea. Use word processing software to create a Project Plan Checklist document based on this lab.b. From the case study, document, identify, and assess the current state of the following factors:Physical facilities: Pada kapasitas / peluang untuk tumbuh Environmental facilities: Pada kapasitas / peluang untuk tumbuh Electrical facilities: Pada kapasitas / peluang untuk...

Lab 7.3.6 Identifying Risks and Weaknesses in the Design

Task 1: Identify areas of risk and weakness in the server farm implementation Step 1: Analyze the physical topologyExamine the server farm topology as one entity and as a part of the entire FilmCompany topology. Look for each of the risks and weaknesses listed in the chart. Describe the devices, connections, and issues that you find, or record None found if the design appears to avoid risks in that area. Weakness Risk Description of Location and Devices ...
