Network Administration Training Courses

The LEDE Project (Linux Embedded Development Environment) is a Linux operating system based on OpenWrt. It is a complete replacement for the vendor-supplied firmware of a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up a LEDE based wireless router.

Audience

- Network administrators and technicians

Format of the course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

The Nessus vulnerability scanner is a very versatile platform for detecting and managing vulnerabilities. They can even do so much more than vulnerability detection. They can also do baseline auditing. In which case you system configuration is being compared with the best hardening standard

In this Instructor led course, we will introduce the components of the solution and the different t functionalities, each module in the application will be explained and its use case laid out.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to carry out vulnerability (authenticated and unauthenticated) scans on almost all IP based systems and analyze the results of the scan to eliminate false positives. The participants will learn to carry out risk based prioritization of findings and recommend compensating controls. This course will help the participants determine the security posture of their systems using Nessus and decide on the best course of action for remediation.

Audience:

- Infrastructure managers
- System administrators
- System Auditors
- System compliance officers
- vulnerability managers
- cybersecurity managers

Format:

Part Lecture, part discussion and hands on practice

NetNORAD is a system built by Facebook to troubleshoot network problems via end-to-end probing, independent of device polling.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how NetNORAD and active path testing can help them improve their network troubleshooting methods.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand how NetNORAD works
- Learn the design principles behind NetNORAD
- Use open-source NetNORAD tools with their own code to implement a fault detection system

Audience

- Network engineers
- Developers
- System engineers

Format of the course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

ONAP (Open Networking Automation Platform) is an open source platform for orchestrating and automating physical and virtual network elements. ONAP originated from OpenECOMP and Open-Orchestrator (Open-O) and is managed by The Linux Foundation.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to use ONAP to automate networking services.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand, install and configure the various components in the ONAP ecosystem
- Carry out real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions
- Design, create, orchestrate, and monitor VNFs, SDNs and other network services
- Efficiently manage the entire networking lifecycle using a software-driven approach
- Develop, deploy, and scale a network using the latest open source technologies and practices

Audience

- IT engineers
- Network engineers
- Developers

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion
- Lots of exercises and practice
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment

Course Customization Options

Varnish is a reverse proxy for content-heavy dynamic web sites. Unlike Squid, which was originally a client-side cache, or Apache and nginx, which are web servers, Varnish was designed as an HTTP accelerator. Varnish is focused exclusively on HTTP, unlike other proxy servers that support FTP, SMTP and other network protocols. Varnish is used by Wikipedia, The New York Times, Facebook and Twitter, among other high-profile websites.

In this course, participants will learn about Varnish's features and caching approach while practicing in the setup and configuration of a Varnish proxy on Linux. The course starts with a refresher on key networking principles, then digs into setup and configuration topics and moves steadily towards complex implementations. By the end of the training participants will understand when and where it makes sense to deploy Varnish and will have the necessary practice to deploy their own Varnish proxy solutions.

Audience

- Network technicians
- Network designers
- System administrators

Format of the course

- Part lecture, part discussion, heavy hands-on practice and implementation, occasional quizing to measure progress

Network packet analysis is a technique used to view, in real time, the raw data sent and received over a network interface. This is useful for troubleshooting network configuration and network application problems. Wireshark is a free open source packet analyzer used for troubleshooting such network issues.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Wireshark to troubleshoot the functionality of a network as well as the performance of differente networked applications. Participants will learn network troubleshooting principles and practice techniques for capturing and analyzing TCP/IP request and response traffic between different clients and the servers.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Analyze network functionality and performance in various environments under different conditions
- Determine whether instances of different server applications are performing acceptably
- Identify the primary sources of network performance problems
- Identify and troubleshoot the most common causes of performance problems in TCP/IP communications

Audience

- Network engineers
- Network and computer technicians

Format of the Course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
