Description
The course aims at introducing students to Network Management, with emphasis on Internet based architectures and protocols. The course material consists of Lecture Notes, Laboratory Exercises & On-line Lectures (synchronized video/audio and transparencies), yearly updated and accessed via the Network Management & Optimal Design Laboratory (NETMODE) web site - www.netmode.ece.ntua.gr. Topics covered include:
- The Network Management Framework FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance & Security) definitions
- Review of the TCP/IP protocol suite and current networking advances in optical Backbone Networks, broadband Access and Local Area Networks. Illustration via the NTUA Campus LAN, the Greek Academic& Research Network GRNET and the Pan-European optical backbone GÉANT
- Commercial service providers, peering and service provisioning
- Management of TCP/IP networks – the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- Management & operations at lower layers, Ethernet switching, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
- Security management: Digital certificates, Public Key Infrastructures (PKI), Authentication & Authorization Infrastructures (AAI), intrusion and anomaly detection
- Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Cloud computing and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)
- Intelligent Software Defined Networks – SDN, OpenFlow Control Architectures
Students get hands-on experience at the NTUA PC Labs. Laboratory exercises involve using TCP/IP based protocol analysis and network management Software tools.
