Summary

The course follows on the course Practice in Communication Network I, which students pass out in the Bachelor study. Students are now engaged in advanced networking techniques that are required in medium-sized and larger companies. Among the key themes of the course we can include monitoring and management networks using open-source systems such as Nagios, Zabix and Grafana, as well as authentication mechanisms, especially with the use of LDAP, RADIUS and Kerberos protocol and advanced single sign-on systems, the end of the semester is devoted to systems of services for Presence and Instant Messaging. After graduating of course student has a comprehensive knowledge of network with equipment on Linux platform that are required by service organization and necessary for administrator of large networks.
