In this course, you learn how to operate and configure the Netcool Configuration Manager solution for compliance of network device configurations. Topics cover many aspects of the solution and how it supports the network configuration management environment. You have access to virtualized servers, network devices, and extensive exercises to see how the solution manages network devices and creates compliance policies to ensure correct configuration settings. You configure software so that network discovery can run. You learn methods that the solution uses for device management and its customization, in addition to details about device modeling technology. You work with integrations between Netcool Configuration Manager, IBM Tivoli Network Manager, and Netcool/OMNIbus to see how these solutions work together to manage the network.
