5 Day Course
Course Overview
Learn how HP Network Node Manager (NNM) Software can be
used to maximize your network’s availability and performance. In this course you will explore the
operational and administrative aspects of NNM on UNIX® and Windows systems. You will learn how to
effectively utilize NNM in the successful management of small, medium, or large networked enterprises.
Audience
System and network administrators

- Use maps and submaps to develop network architecture that will maximize network performance
- Use the simple network management protocol (SNMP) to access and change the network configuration and status parameters
- Troubleshoot problems in an NNM environment and use key concepts to dramatically reduce down time
- Describe the NNM architecture, processes, and databases
- Configure NNM discovery domains (extend and limit)
- Describe the Extended Topology component and enable its operation
- Configure alarms to provide specific feedback and take automatic actions
- Collect unique MIB data from any managed network nodes
- Save data to the Data Warehouse for long term trend analysis
