In this course I'm gonna demonstrate multiple solar winds applications including Network Performance
Monitor or NPM Kiwi source log server.
Kiwi cat tools and others that may be of interest to you.
Please give feedback if there's any tools that you'd like to add to the course.
But before we get into the demonstrations it's important that you understand the protocols that these
applications rely on to manage the network.
So you need a knowledge of protocols such as ICMP S&P or simple network management protocol S&P traps
slug and w a mind.
These protocols enable applications such as NPM to access devices ingenious 3 or in a production topology
and to extract information from those devices so it's important that you as a network engineer or network
manager have an understanding of these protocols.
If you already know what S&P is or what's the slugs feel free to skip ahead.
But in this video I'm going to discuss some of these protocols.
