Overview/Description
Managing and monitoring are routine tasks performed on every network, regardless of its size. Proper management and monitoring of a network can forestall many problems that commonly occur in a network environment, as well as make troubleshooting problems that do arise that much easier. In this course, you'll learn about the methods and tools used in the operations of your network, including tools used in network monitoring, monitoring data analysis, configuration management, and network segmentation. This course is one of a series in the SkillSoft learning path that covers the objectives for certification exam CompTIA Network+ N10-006.
