Course Length:

5 Days

Course Description:

The Implementing CiscoWorks LMS (CWENT) v2.5 course teaches students how to effectively use the CiscoWorks applications contained in the LMS 2.5 bundle. The focus is on finding the correct tools within CiscoWorks to document the network, log changes that occur, deploy global changes to devices, monitor network performance, and manage network faults. The labs are designed around students sharing two CiscoWorks servers set up in a Multi-Server Trust environment. The course is designed so that the ICM software is installed in a NAM environment (one NAM enterprise and two Customer ICM enterprises) to give students the experience of installing multiple ICM Instances. Through the use of various monitoring and testing utilities, (the process Log files) students will be able to identify, analyze, and diagnose various system alarms and events.
