A collection of devices that interact with one another to provide communication.
Explain cost analysis of a network...
Determining not only the cost of network design and implementation, but also the cost of maintaining, upgrading, and monitering the network.
Reasons for monitering a network...
To predict changes for future growth and detect unexpected changes in network status.
What is SNMP?
SNMP allows management to transmit statistical data over the network to a central management console.
Explain how problem solving methods work...
You can use your engineering journal and take notes. This can define a clear path to diagnosing a problem. Labeling, is even more valuable than writing.
Difference between Process of Elimination and Divide and Conquer techniques...
The Process of elimination trys different things and eliminates as you go. Divide and Conquer techniques allow for divideing the network into seperate networks to fix the problem by isolating it.
List commands helpful in troubleshooting and explain
1) Ping
2) TraceRoute
3) Telnet
4) Netstat
5) Arp
6) IP Config
Reflection...I learned from this lesson......
I learned that there is more to network management than just setting up a network, notes should be kept in an engineering journal and labeling should take place. Monitering your network is another important factor that should also be considered in the cost.
