Learning Outcomes

  1. define and understand the fundamental management concepts, principles, architectures and trends.
  2. explain and be aware of importance of management tasks (fault detection and correction, configurations, accounting, performance monitoring and improving, security issues, service fulfillment and QoS assurance).
  3. explain standard management architectures including associated management information models, management interfaces and standard functions.
  4. explain importance of management integration and TMF standards in the area of next generation operation support systems, explain importance of management integration and TMF standards in the area of next generation operation support systems, explain importance of management integration and TMF standards in the area of next generation operation support systems, Frameworx systems.
  5. define emerging approaches and techniques as policy based management and self-management.
  6. use basic management applications like MIB browsers and simple management consoles for collecting data and issuing management commands as well as to interpret collected data.
  7. analyze management problem, design and implement simple management applications conformed to the Internet SNMP or JMX standards.
