NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management Planning

Course number: OS00114
Course duration: 2 days
Price: €1,600

 

Course overview

This hands-on course enables learners to develop a solid theoretical and practical understanding of NSP Infrastructure Configuration Management (ICM) design and planning.  Learn the components of configuration intent type, how to customize the configuration forms to meet specific needs and how to import them into the NSP Device Management function.  Discover how to create customized fixed and flexible Configuration Templates that operators will use for configuration deployments.  See how operators perform and manage configuration deployments.  Finally, learn how to discover brownfield configurations so they can be fully managed through NSP ICM.  This includes the audit and align features, as well as the ability to use this configuration for deployments to other network objects. This course is based on NSP version 24.8.
