NSP Model-Driven Management

Course number: OS00109-W
Course duration: 2 hours 
Price: €200

Course overview

This eLearning explores how the NSP delivers device-independent network mediation through model-driven (MD) functionalities. Discover how the NSP uses hot-pluggable "adaptors" to convert generic application requests to device-specific directives using standard protocols such as NETCONF, SNMP and CLI.  Learn the different adaptor types and how to obtain them while gaining knowledgeable insights into their installation procedures.  Equip yourself with crucial model-driven management procedures through step-by-step use case examples, including preparing network elements for model-driven discovery, discovering an MD aware network element using the NSP Device Discovery function and configuring discovered MD network elements using the NSP Modeled Device Configurator.  Finish by learning to use Grafana to monitor the overall health of NSP MDM.
