Duration
nGeniusONE TCP/IP Triage
Four half-days online with a live instructor
Overview
nGeniusONE Service Assurance platform. Students should come to the course with a basic understanding of the nGeniusONE platform. The course is designed to provide intermediate level hands-on training using real-life scenarios that simulate issues that may be encountered in modern TCP/IP based networks.
The training uses common data center protocols and topologies to present monitoring and troubleshooting techniques using nGeniusONE. The course describes the applications and presents suggested workflows for triaging typical problems using all of the tools available in the nGeniusONE platform, including the Dashboard, Service Monitors, Service Enablers, Session Analysis, and Packet Analysis.
This training places strong emphasis on Packet Analysis within the nGeniusONE decode structure. Students will start with basic fundamentals and work through advanced concepts of deep packet inspection.
Course Objectives
- Describe and analyze basic packet structure
- Use nGeniusONE workflow analysis to Identify key functions of the OSI Model
- Demonstrate advanced solution workflows to isolate network problems
- Access session and packet decode data to validate the root cause of problems
- Increased awareness and understanding of IP, TCP, and Application Layer analysis
- Demonstrate strong understanding of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
Prerequisite
- Attendees should have NETSCOUT® Certified Associate certification. Complete either of these requirements to attain NCA certification.
- – nGeniusONE® Essentials
- – nGeniusONE Service Assurance platform
On-Demand Learning program
- Students should have a working knowledge of LAN technologies and topologies, the OSI reference model, and the function of network devices.
- A basic understanding of unified communications (voice and video) technologies and protocols, and quality measurements such as jitter, packet loss, latency and MOS, is also helpful.
