3. CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Theoretical
Among the application protocols to be studied will be, among others, those that support network management. The functional areas of network management and management models will be studied. Likewise, an approach to management in virtualized networks will be carried out.

In this subject, students will be provided with the ability to keep up to date with the latest developments in science and technology, especially in this type of subject, so closely linked to such a dynamic environment as telecommunications, and specifically Telematics Engineering.

The theoretical block program is made up of three topics, with the structure that appears below.

 

Lesson 1. Introduction to network management.
Concept of network management.

Objective of network management.

Organizational structure of a network management center.

Evolution suffered by network management.

Resources used in network management.

Network management methods.

Architecture of a network management system.

Functional areas of network management.

Distributed network management.

 

Lesson 2. Internet network management.
Introduction to Internet network management.

Evolution of Internet network management.

Internet network management framework.

Structure of management information.

Management Information Bases (MIB).

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

Administrative framework.

Conclusions about SNMP.

SNMPv2.

SNMPv3.

Remote Network Monitoring (RMON).

Other models: Netflow, NETCONF, IPFIX

 

Lesson 3. Technologies and trends in network management
Network management technologies

Trends in network management

Software-defined networks (SDN).

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)

 

Practical.
The objective of the proposed practices is the achievement of the established competences. In addition, communication skills for information, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of engineering and society in general will be developed through documentation delivery processes or oral presentations.

With regard to the organization of work, collaboration and teamwork will be encouraged through the design of the practices themselves.

 

Practice 1. Familiarization with management tools.
In this practice, a second approach to Network Management is addressed, this time through the use of management tools based on the SNMP protocol (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol), specifically the SNMP Management Agent for machines with Windows, Linux, and Cisco equipment, as well as a network manager called MIB-Browser. After carrying out its installation and configuration, the use of these tools will be proposed to practice with the monitoring and control methods, on various objects of the MIB-II.

 

Practice 2. Service for network management.
In this practice, the study of the SNMP protocol (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol) is addressed, through the capture of PDUs and the analysis of the content of the messages. In the following sections, it is proposed to capture information through monitoring and analysis of traps. In the third section, this information corresponds to objects of a standard Mib, the MIB-II, while in the fourth, the Mib used has been developed by Cisco.

 

Practice 3. Networks defined by software.
In this practice, an approximation to Network Management is addressed through the programming of applications that allow communication with management agents using the SNMP protocol. After carrying out its construction and deployment, the use of this tool will be proposed to practice with the monitoring methods on various objects of the MIB-II.

 

Practice 4. Virtualization of network functions.
In this practice, an approximation to the simulation of networks defined by software is addressed. In order to carry out tests in SDN environments we are going to resort to a network virtualization environment called Mininet. It does not have a graphical interface that facilitates interaction, but its easy installation as a virtual machine image, which has images of the SDN equipment to be virtualized, OpenFlow, and the POX controller incorporated, greatly facilitates familiarization with the tool.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The development of expository classes in large groups, as well as in small groups, will be focused on promoting quality teaching, prioritizing activities that promote inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4).

 

Expositive classes in large group
The methodology to be followed in the large group expository classes will be a mixture of introductory activities, master classes and the presentation of theory and general examples in the classroom designated for the subject by the center. In addition to exposing the theoretical contents of the subject, the ability to collect and interpret data and manage complex concepts within Telematics Engineering will be developed and enhanced, in order to make judgments that imply reflection on ethical and social issues.

The student must follow the teacher's presentation with the material delivered for this purpose, whether they are notes or a slide presentation, which must be completed with their own notes and with the subsequent review of the basic and/or recommended bibliography.

Attendance, as well as active, respectful and responsible participation, either to raise doubts or to respond to the teacher's requirements or questions, will be evaluated positively in its corresponding factor.

The student's autonomous work should focus on reviewing the concepts and theoretical aspects seen in class, carrying out exercises, as well as studying them with the material provided by the teacher, student notes and bibliography.

 

Small group classes
The small group classes will be implemented through work sessions in the laboratory that will focus on the development of the applications, or learning tasks designated by the teacher, which culminate with the completion of the client or server applications, the objective of the practice, which will follow, throughout the course, a project-based learning methodology.

Thus, during the practical sessions, the work of design and implementation of the applications marked by the different practices must be carried out, in order to be able to count on the supervision of the teacher. In addition, work in a collaborative environment will be encouraged, as well as mixing with the communication of results

Attendance, as well as active, respectful and responsible participation, either to raise doubts or to respond to the teacher's requirements or questions, will be evaluated positively in its corresponding factor.

Regarding the autonomous work, it will focus on the preparation of the documentation to be delivered for each practice, as well as on completing the work started in the laboratory and that could not be finished in the corresponding session. Special emphasis will be placed on the need for their own continuous training and to undertake this activity independently throughout their professional life, as well as on the ability to keep up to date with the latest in science and technology, especially in this type of field. of subjects, so linked to an environment as dynamic as telecommunications, and specifically Telematics Engineering.

In addition, work in a collaborative environment will be encouraged, as well as the mix with the communication of results, with special emphasis on the need for continuous training typical of activities related to telecommunications throughout their professional life independently.

 

Collective tutorials
The collective tutorials will be used in the resolution of doubts, monitoring and supervision of the work and exercises, as well as in the attendance and participation in the different seminars planned in the subject, as well as talks, conferences, workshops and/or conferences, designated by the teacher, in order to complete and update the training and obtain general, transversal and/or specific competences defined for this activity, such as the value of continuous training, entrepreneurship or the review of technological innovations in the matter.

The attendance, as well as the active, respectful and responsible participation, in the aforementioned activities, will be evaluated according to the provisions of the evaluation system of this guide.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Overall evaluation
The Global Evaluation will be carried out according to the activities described in the "Methodology and activities" section, in addition to those described in the "Detailed description of the Global Evaluation" section, following the weights of each aspect detailed in the previous table.

The Global evaluation modality is divided into two parts:

The evaluation of the work during the school period, according to the tasks defined for this purpose.
Carrying out a FINAL TEST on the day set for the subject within the exam period.
The distribution of the weights for each evaluable aspect of the two aforementioned parts, and taking into account the activities described in the previous table, is as follows:

The qualifications obtained in an aspect during the academic period in the GLOBAL evaluation will be maintained until the end of the course.

Final test: At the end of the semester, on the day set for the subject within the exam period, there will be a final test of the theoretical part and exercises of the subject (aspects S2 and S3), in which the student must demonstrate who has acquired the competencies and learning outcomes established for these aspects. The weight of this test in the final grade will be 30% of the total for the subject, as reflected in the table "Global Assessment Weight Distribution", 15% corresponding to the S2 aspect and the other 15% to the S3 aspect. . The specific conditions, as well as the material and/or documentation that may be used in the final test will be those established by the person responsible for the subject.

 

Final evaluation
To pass the subject, the student body must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5.0 out of 10 in the total calculation of the evaluated aspects, as long as a grade equal to or greater than 4.0 has been obtained in the final test and in the part of laboratory/computer practices (S4).

The student body will have the option to waive the GLOBAL evaluation, not being possible to return to it once the waiver has been made.

 

single test
In the SINGLE TEST modality, an exam will be carried out on the day set for the subject within the exam period, which will cover all the contents of the subject, ensuring that the student body has acquired the skills and learning outcomes established for the exam. same. The weight that will be assigned to each of its two parts will be the following:

Part 1. Attendance and participation, theoretical concepts of the subject and completion of work, cases or exercises (S1, S2 and S3): 70%.
Part 2. Laboratory/computer practices (S4): 30%.

The specific conditions, as well as the material and/or documentation that may be used in the Single Test will be those established by the person in charge of the subject.

To pass the subject, the student body must obtain a grade equal to or greater than 5.0 out of 10 in each of the two parts of this test.

Students who have passed aspect S4 of laboratory/computer practices of the subject through GLOBAL evaluation, with a grade equal to or greater than 5.0 out of 10, will not have to take Part 2 corresponding to this aspect in the exam, applying the same qualification obtained in the GLOBAL evaluation to said part.

The parts passed in each call will be kept until the end of the course

 

Detailed description of the Global Assessment.
For those students whose evaluation is carried out globally, it will be based on monitoring and carrying out the activities included in the four categories presented in the Evaluation System, which make up the total of the evaluable elements of the subject:

S1. Attendance and participation: 10%.
S2. Theoretical concepts of the subject: 30%.
S3. Carrying out work, cases or exercises: 30%.
S4. Laboratory/computer practices: 30%.
Each of these blocks will be detailed in the following sections.

 

S1 - Attendance and participation (10%)
In this section the competences will be evaluated: CB2, CB4, CB5, CG4 and CG9.

The positive evaluation of this section will mean that the student has achieved the following skills or learning outcomes: 27, 34 and 35.

This aspect will be valued taking into account the attendance and participation in large group lectures, small group classes (laboratory practices) and collective tutorials in which seminars are attended, or other activities organized by the Engineering Department of Telecommunications, the E. P. S. de Linares, or the University of Jaén and that are recommended by the professor responsible.
