Introduction:
 
This course provides the tools for you to move from Network Management Administrator to Network Management Architect. You'll learn how to design a distributed solution and implement it effectively. This course covers complete training on Extended Topology and Problem Diagnosis. The Extended Topology deployment section includes labs using an SNMP simulation package (MIMIC), which allows the product to be run in a live environment to simulate common problems that can occur during deployment and how to troubleshoot them. This 5 full-day course is 40 percent lecture and 60 percent hands-on.
 
Customize it:
 
This 5-day HP Network Node Manager Software II course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of HP training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We ever fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class.
