Chapter 8: Objectives
Explain syslog operation in a small-to-medium-sized business network.
Configure syslog to compile messages on a small-to-medium-sized business network management device.
Explain syslog operation in small-to-medium-sized business network.
Configure SNMP to compile messages on a small-to-medium-sized business network.
Describe NetFlow operation in a small-to-medium-sized business network.
Configure NetFlow data export on a router.
Examine sample NetFlow data to determine traffic patterns.
This chapter covers three protocols that a network administrator can use to monitor the network.
Syslog, SNMP, and NetFlow are popular protocols with different strengths and weaknesses. Together, they provide a good toolset for understanding what is happening on a network.
The Network Time Protocol is used to synchronize time across devices, which is especially important when trying to compare log files from different devices.
