The Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition Fundamentals course is designed to provide an understanding of the key product processes, including the integration with Netcool/OMNIbus, Root Cause Analysis calculation and network monitoring via the Network Manager Pollers.
The Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition course begins with a basic overview of product components and their associated functionality. Students will then install and configure Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition, carrying out a full discovery of simulated networks containing various vendor specific devices. In order to further understand the intricacies of the discovery cycle, students will further customize discovery by changing the behavior of finders and agents. A few keys stitchers are introduced (though advanced stitcher configuration is covered in the Advanced training course). They will also learn how to get at granular discovery data and monitor processes through the use of OQL query commands.
They will also configure monitoring and understand how to suspend monitoring of devices within the network. In order to extend the functionality and build resilience, students will learn how to configure and maintain a Network Manager Failover Server pair into a full failover OMNIbus environment.
Pre-sales engineers, System Integrators, Value Added Resellers (VARs) and System Administrators of Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition, who will be required to install, configure and maintain Tivoli Network Manager.
Required Skills/Knowledge
Students must have a ‘system administrator’ level understanding of UNIX/Linux. This should includ proficiency with the "vi" editor.
> Knowledge of network management, including SNMP and TCP/IP, routing, switching and network management systems.
> Understanding of network protocols include OSPF, MPLS, and BGP.
> The ability to determine the cause of a software problem, and work around or fix the problem
> Work with basic scripting techniques
Attendance of the Netcool/OMNIbus Administration and Configuration course is mandatory if the student has
never worked with Netcool/OMNIbus previously.
Recommended Courses
Attendance of the Netcool/OMNIbus Administration and Configuration course is mandatory if the student has
