Course Name:	Advanced HP OpenView Network Node Manager (configuring management of topologies and events) Training
Deployment Options:	Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
Course Duration:	5 Days

Introduction:

This NNM 7.5-based course covers the latest and most advanced features of NNM, providing in depth training on Extended Topology's layer 2 management, Event Reduction with ECS Composer, and use of the Active Problem Analyzer. The deployment of NNM in topologies containing NAT, HSRP, and OSPF will be practiced. This course is the third in the NNM curriculum, and is intended for those who have significant experience using NNM. 95% of the content of this course is functionality added to NNM after NNM 6.2. Students with significant NNM expertise should bypass NNM 1 and NNM 2 and start directly with this Advanced course to learn the latest features of NNM.

Customize it:

This 5-day HP Openview NNM on Windows 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 HPOV 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 never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.

Audience:

NNM Channel Partners: Consultants, system architects, integrators and planners NNM Customers: System and network administrators HP Software Engineers involved in pre-sales and post-sales

Prerequisite

Before taking this course, you should have completed the following training: HP OpenView Network Node Manager on UNIX I (B4743S) or; HP OpenView Network Node Manager on Windows I (essentials of use and administration (H1662S) HP OpenView Network Node Manager II (B4756S) is recommended 2 years of NNM experience if the above were for pre 6.4 versions of NNM

Course Objectives:

After completing this course you will be able to: Discover and manage Layer-2 switched environments as well as layer-3 routed environments. View and interpret dynamic views. Maximize scalability for Extended Topology discovery. Describe and configure how ET supports network protocols (VLAN, OSPF, HSRP, IPV6, etc.). Describe and configure ET discovery of Overlapping Address Domains (private IP addresses and static NAT). Configure and verify all forms of Composer correlators. Describe the operation of the Active Problem Analyzer.
