Monitor strategic methods developing and daily enterprise network monitoring by NNM,

OM and other tools, Created network devices inventory used by management and a variety of

groups.

Network data collection by using SNMP, Bash, and Perl shell programming. Used IOS

commands and Solarwinds to identify the interested instances; Found the right OIDs in the

related MIBs; Standardized switches’ IOS images and configurations. Normalized the

indexes in MIBs for all of switches. Identified the difference of OIDs for the same instance

from different model switches. Finally, saved millions for the organization.

Migrated from NNM 7.1 to 7.5 on Solaris 9. Found the differences of configurations and

functionalities from the two versions. Concluded a safe and efficient way to complete the

migration.

NNM7.5 on Solaris 9 to NNM 8i windows 2003 server VMware environment and individual

windows 2003 server. Evaluated NNM 8i and iSPI for performance and wrote the report of

the comparison of these two versions under the different environment.

Setup Solaris and installed NNM 7.xx and other applications like Telalert and SNMP utilities

for a testing environment.

Setup Red Linux and installed MySQL and the interested utilities. Studied storing the

network data in MySQL relational database. Concluded pros and cons of relational database

vs. RRD database.

Installed OpManager on windows XP and initialized the discovery of the selected networks

and the network devices and tested the functions.

Applied Opnet to our network to analyze the performance of the different tiers of the

networks.

DNS/DHCP server and Nortel’s NetID system administrator. Prepared reports of IP address

usage every week and recommended changes to accommodate the need of customers.

Assigned IP and DNS to the end users and network infrastructural devices. Redesigned DNS
