Network monitoring means watching the network to make sure it is working well. It helps us find problems early, like the slow internet, broken connections, or high traffic. It also helps in checking the health of devices like routers, switches, and servers. SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. It is a tool that helps in monitoring and managing devices on a network. SNMP collects data from network devices and sends it to a central system. This system shows what is happening on the network.

For example, if a router is getting too hot or using too much memory, SNMP can alert the admin to act. Ping, Traceroute, IPConfig/IFConfig, Wireshark, Netstat and Network Monitoring software are common troubleshooting tools.

Wrap up Note:

This assignment has been a great experience for me. I really enjoyed learning new topics, especially because they are closely related to my job. Blogging each week was a smart idea. It helped me keep a record of what I learned and made it easier to review and remember. For an IT-related course, this type of assignment is perfect.

I work in the management team on a high-tech production floor. Many times, I hear the term "system down," but now I understand more clearly what that means and how network issues can be solved. This course has helped me understand the process better. I even want to continue blogging about my work updates just for myself.

Yes, I can definitely see myself blogging in the future, even when it's not required. It’s a great way to review what I’ve learned during the week and keep track of my progress.

I also believe this skill is very useful for any company. Blogging helped me become more knowledgeable and encouraged me to do more research on each topic. It improved my understanding, and I believe it adds more value to my skill set. The resources were great, and I just need to keep focusing on the practical side more.

Week 4 - Hardware Repair

 When performing computer hardware repair, it's important to pay attention to several key points to ensure successful and safe repair. Safety precautions, Diagnosing the problem, component capability, using proper tools, component replacement, handle software issues separately, reassemble carefully are the major things that I have learned from the video and my own research.  1.  Safety Precautions: v   Power Off & Unplug: Always make sure the computer is turned off and unplugged from the power source before starting any repairs. v   Ground Yourself: Use an anti-static wrist strap to avoid damaging sensitive components with static electricity. Alternatively, ground yourself by touching a metal object. v   Handling Components Carefully: Avoid touching the pins or contacts on components (like RAM, CPU, or motherboard) to prevent damage. v   Heat: Some parts, like CPUs and power supplies, can get hot. Be cautious to avoid burns. 2. Diagnosing...

OS and configuring email on Mobile Devices

  OS and configuring email on Mobile Devices This week, I got the opportunity to overview both operating systems iOS & Android that are used on mobile devices, enroll devices for on-premises MDM in Configuration Manager system, and analysis of configuring Email on Mobile Devices. iOS is the operating system made by Apple for iPhones and iPads. It was first released in 2007 and has been updated many times since. Each new version brings improvements like better speed, more features, and security updates. iOS has made Apple devices very popular because it is easy to use and works well with other Apple products. It also has a big app store where users can download many different apps. iOS helps Apple stay competitive in the smartphone market by offering a smooth, secure, and reliable experience. Android OS, developed by Google in 2005. It is an open-source operating system primarily used in smartphones and tablets. It has grown to dominate the global smartphone market, with o...

Week 3- Selection of CPU, RAM and Processor

  Choosing the right CPU is the biggest challenge for non-tech people in this century. When choosing a CPU, we can consider such as number of cycles a CPU can perform per second called (GHz), number of cores and its purpose, compatibility of processor with the CPU and the budget. After I completed chapters 3 and 4 in a book, and other materials that have various information about processors, RAM (DRAM) manufacturers, SSD, coolers, and overall CPU selections, I would like to summarize some of the points in this post. Modern CPU's can process multiple commands in parts of commands in parallel. Intel and AMD have built in support for running more than one operating system at a time a process. (is called visualization) The CPU is composed of multiple chunks of circuitry to handle the many types of calculation our PC needs to do. When selecting a CPU you need to make certain the motherboard can accommodate or if you are buying a motherboard along with the CPU then get the right CPU fo...
