Network Operations and Management Foundations
This Learning Path introduces the essentials of Network Operations and Management (OAM). It starts with Linux basics and beginner-level networking concepts, including the OSI model, IP addressing, and connectivity. The journey culminates in an OAM-focused lab, where you'll explore tools and techniques for monitoring, troubleshooting, and managing network operations effectively in real-world scenarios.

Lab Architecture:
This Hands-on Training consists of access to a hands-on lab to practice and will guide students through a series of exercises and mini-projects that cover essential Linux concepts. Students will learn how to use the command line, navigate the file system, configure network services, secure the system and much more.
‍

Lab Objectives:
- Gain a strong foundation in Linux and its role in modern computing.
- Develop proficiency in terminal commands for file management and permissions.
- Acquire skills in user and group management for secure access control.
- Learn to monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues effectively.
- Build networking knowledge to configure interfaces and maintain connectivity.
‍
Lab Architecture:
This Hands-on Training provides simulations of fundamental networking concepts and topics such as network topologies, wired and wireless LANs, and various protocols across the OSI model. Participants will acquire necessary methodologies for detecting and troubleshooting issues throughout diverse scenarios involving server-client interactions, VLANs, subnetting, and other pertinent aspects.

Lab Objectives:
- Gain expertise in network topologies for efficient design and optimization.
- Understand LAN, WLAN, and WAN configurations through hands-on practice.
- Improve troubleshooting with MAC addresses, Ethernet, and CSMA/CD knowledge.
- Achieve end-to-end network visibility with OSI model protocol analysis.
- Enhance diagnostic skills using Wireshark for packet inspection and issue resolution.
Lab Architecture:
This Hands-On Training consists of an environment with a Linux SNMP agent/SNMP TRAP daemons, connected to a Zabbix server and agent services. The environment also includes a SIP server and a 4G application to use as monitored nodes.

Lab Objectives:
- Gain a deep understanding of SNMP architecture and how agents and managers communicate for network monitoring.
- Learn how to configure and manage Zabbix to monitor infrastructure using SNMP items, triggers, and alarms.
- Develop the ability to create and manage SNMP agents and traps for real-time network event detection.
- Understand backup strategies and their importance in protecting critical network and system data.
- Gain practical knowledge in data recovery by learning how to restore lost information from backups effectively.
