EDU Trainings s.r.o.

Popis kurzu

Together with OpenText™ Network Node Manager, OpenText™Network Automation is the second core component of the OpenText™ Network Operations Management (NOM) solution.
This four-day course about OpenText™ Network Automation (NA) teaches you how to use the NA solution to maintain, automate, and enforce policies and compliance on their enterprise networks. While you have a good understanding of managing and administering network devices, the course builds on that knowledge and teaches how to use a complex tool, such as NA to gain visibility and control over changes and corporate policies as applied to the enterprise network. You will learn how to automate previously manual tasks using the tools provided by NA to decrease error rates and increase productivity. You will also learn how to customize the tool to serve their purposes.
The class provides an opportunity to develop hands-on experience in configuring the tool, discovering and managing network devices, capturing, storing, and deploying their configuration, creating change plans, automating tasks and checking and enforcing compliance with policies using NA. On completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Describe basic components and functions of Micro Focus Network Automation (NA)
Add and delete devices
Create groups for device management
Run tasks against devices and groups
Create, edit, and use templates and change
plans
Create and use policies for compliance
Create and use reports
Use NA to upgrade device operating systems
Create and use workflows for change control
Monitor the NA server health
Configure and manage the NA server operation
Troubleshoot NA-related problems
