MINNEAPOLIS, MN —January 24, 2006 — Network Instruments, the leading innovator of network analysis solutions, released today the 2006 Network Instruments University (NIU) course calendar for the United States. Commencing in February, Network Instruments will deliver basic and advanced curriculum on TCP/IP, WLAN network analysis, network security problems, and VoIP analysis. The first class will be held Feb. 6-7 in Las Vegas. Additional courses are scheduled throughout the year in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, New York, Orange County, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C..
Students who complete the basic and advanced TCP/IP curriculum will become a Certified Network Instruments Administrator (CNIA). Network administrators who achieve this CNIA distinction will have the sophisticated proficiency required to easily locate, isolate, and resolve even the most complex networking problems.
“Without a doubt, NIU courses deliver comprehensive content and hands-on training to ensure students can administer any network,” said Bruce Clark, vice-president of sales for Network Instruments. “Students leave with the skills and confidence needed to quickly resolve issues, successfully deploy new technologies such as voice over IP, and proactively plan for future growth. Many IT managers require this level of training for their administrators.”
Each NIU course spans two days and includes a combination of theory and practice with hands-on labs utilizing the Observer® analyzer.
Four course options are available:
- TR01 – Basic Network Analysis
Provides a logical troubleshooting approach for capturing and analyzing data frames, and reviews the benefits of utilizing a comprehensive Expert system. Course covers IP telephony and teaches how to successfully deploying VoIP technology. Students learn to troubleshoot, maintain, optimize, and monitor heterogeneous networks.
- TR02 – TCP/IP Network Analysis
Teaches troubleshooting methods for all layers of the TCP/IP stack and how to analyze capture buffers to find erroneous conditions with upper-layer protocols. TR02 also dives into the SNMP model and the RMON MIB structure.
Provides a logical troubleshooting approach for capturing and analyzing WLAN data frames to monitor 802.11 traffic. This class also discusses WLAN principles, physical layer components, 802.11 configurations, capturing data in Expert mode, beaconing, fragmentation, WEP, authentication, associations, and performing WLAN site surveys.
Focuses on issues and signatures to secure the network. Students learn to identify common threats, filter for specific signatures, and isolate attacks as well as identify network intrusions from different methods of network penetration.
Each course is $1,295.
All courses are taught by networking experts with extensive field experience and an understanding of complex network configurations. To qualify for the CNIA certificate, students must complete TR01 and TR02 and demonstrate analysis proficiency in a variety of hands on labs. Custom-designed courses are also available.
