Duration: 40 hours Description: The Implementing CiscoWorks LMS (CWLMS) teaches learners how to use the CiscoWorks applications contained in the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) 3.0 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 so that learners share two CiscoWorks servers set up in a multiserver trust environment. Objectives: Upon finishing this course, you will be able to: Describe fundamental network management concepts • Introduce the applications contained in CiscoWorks LMS 3.0 • Prepare the various CiscoWorks applications for use • Use CiscoWorks Campus Manager to view and troubleshoot network devices, as well as end-user, host, and IP phone connections • Diagnose VLAN connectivity problems; and deploy VLAN updates • Use CiscoWorks RME to document the network, log changes, archive configurations and software images, and deploy updates • Monitor performance in the network using CiscoWorks IPM and response time • Manage network faults using CiscoWorks DFM • Use CiscoView to monitor and configure a device, CiscoWorks Device Center to troubleshoot a device, and CiscoWorks Assistant workflows to troubleshoot device problems • Deploy CiscoWorks and perform CiscoWorks system administration tasks to ensure that the server runs smoothly Importance: The course is of utmost importance for network managers and all individuals dealins with the CiscoWorks management suite. Audience: The primary audience for this course comprises network administrators and network managers, while also network designers, network engineers and systems engineers will benefit as well.
