 Hello and welcome to this course titled
 Network Monitoring with SNMP and

0:00:12.720000 --> 0:00:17.980000
 Syslog. My name is Keith Bogart and I'll
 be your instructor for this course.

0:00:17.980000 --> 0:00:20.680000
 I've also provided you my contact
 information right here.

0:00:20.680000 --> 0:00:24.480000
 So should you have any questions after
 these series of videos are done,

0:00:24.480000 --> 0:00:28.160000
 please feel free to reach out to me
 and I'll do my best to answer your

0:00:28.160000 --> 0:00:33.240000
 questions. There are a couple of real
 high level prerequisites for this

0:00:33.240000 --> 0:00:35.240000
 course but not much.

0:00:35.240000 --> 0:00:38.960000
 So number one, I'm assuming you have
 a high level understanding of what

0:00:38.960000 --> 0:00:41.540000
 the function is of
 network devices.

0:00:41.540000 --> 0:00:45.760000
 In other words, these features I'm
 going to talk about today, SNMP and

0:00:45.760000 --> 0:00:48.660000
 Syslog operate on lots
 of different things.

0:00:48.660000 --> 0:00:52.320000
 I'm going to be focusing on routers
 and switches and network devices and

0:00:52.320000 --> 0:00:57.280000
 so when I use a term like router or switch
 or routing table or interface,

0:00:57.280000 --> 0:01:00.660000
 if you're not familiar with what those
 terms mean, this would be kind

0:01:00.660000 --> 0:01:01.640000
 of useless to you.

0:01:01.640000 --> 0:01:06.120000
 So hopefully you know sort of just what
 those terms are and also you need

0:01:06.120000 --> 0:01:08.660000
 to have an understanding
 of the internet protocol.

0:01:08.660000 --> 0:01:14.700000
 Both Syslog and SNMP rely on the services
 of IP to get their job done

0:01:14.700000 --> 0:01:17.280000
 and to transport their messages
 back and forth.

0:01:17.280000 --> 0:01:22.560000
 If you don't know what IP is or how
 IP works, understanding how these

0:01:22.560000 --> 0:01:26.760000
 protocols right on top of IP would
 be very problematic for you.

0:01:26.760000 --> 0:01:29.240000
 All right, so what are we going
 to cover in this course?

0:01:29.240000 --> 0:01:30.720000
 Well, two high level things.

0:01:30.720000 --> 0:01:35.340000
 Number one, I want to introduce you to
 the simple network management protocol.

0:01:35.340000 --> 0:01:37.940000
 Talk about its purpose,
 why people use it.

0:01:37.940000 --> 0:01:39.900000
 I'll show you the different
 message types.

0:01:39.900000 --> 0:01:41.920000
 There's three versions of SNMP.

0:01:41.920000 --> 0:01:45.100000
 We'll talk about what the differences
 are between those versions.

0:01:45.100000 --> 0:01:48.500000
 And then I'll also show you how to
 configure it on Cisco devices so it

0:01:48.500000 --> 0:01:53.360000
 can talk to a network management station,
 otherwise known as an SNMP server.

0:01:53.360000 --> 0:01:58.520000
 Then another very common protocol that's
 useful in monitoring and troubleshooting

0:01:58.520000 --> 0:02:02.920000
 networks is Syslog, which is
 short for system logging.

0:02:02.920000 --> 0:02:04.880000
 So we'll talk about
 what is Syslog?

0:02:04.880000 --> 0:02:08.960000
 What are these things called Syslog
 facilities and Syslog levels?

0:02:08.960000 --> 0:02:12.880000
 How do I get the Syslog messages that
 my router or switch or firewall

0:02:12.880000 --> 0:02:17.800000
 is creating and send that externally
 to a Syslog server where I can see

0:02:17.800000 --> 0:02:19.560000
 it? So we'll talk
 about all of that.

0:02:19.560000 --> 0:02:24.240000
 So, if you're interested in learning
 more about SNMP and Syslog, let's

0:02:24.240000 --> 0:02:25.840000
 get going in this
 series of videos.
