1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,090
In this course, I'm going to demonstrate multiple solar winds, applications, including network performance

2
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:14,460
monitor or NPM, Kiwi Syslog server, Kiwi CatTools, and others that may be of interest to you.

3
00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:19,310
Please give feedback if there's any tool that you'd like to add to the course.

4
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:26,340
But before we get into the demonstrations, it's important that you understand the protocols that these

5
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:29,700
applications rely on to manage the network.

6
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:39,380
So you need a knowledge of protocol such as ICMP, SNMP or Simple Network Management Protocol, SNMP

7
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:50,600
Traps, Syslog and WMI, these protocols enable applications such as NPM to access devices in GNS3 

8
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,940
or in a production topology and to extract information from those devices.

9
00:00:57,010 --> 00:01:02,950
So it's important that you, as a network engineer or network manager, have an understanding of these

10
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:03,790
protocols.

11
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:10,680
If you already know what SNMP is or what Syslog is feel free to skip ahead, but in this video, I'm

12
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,660
going to discuss some of these protocols.
