TCM-225 - System and Network Monitoring

3 credits

Good system administrators know about network and computer problems before they become critical problems. This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, configure, and administer an enterprise network monitoring solution. Larger networks are composed of many network devices, servers, printers, and desktop systems. Our goal is to monitor the events on an existing network from a central location. We begin by examining the local network, determine what needs to be monitored, examine our security needs, and then create a project plan. Students will then implement the monitoring system in lab. To perform well in this class the student should be familiar with Microsoft and Windows, some basic TCP\IP networking. CSCO-100 and CSE-150 are recommended prerequisites if the student does not have this background.
