Course outcomes:
After completing the subject, the student will get comprehensive information on managing network operating systems (OS) and their network services deployed in a network environment.
Student will:
- know basic features of Linux and Windows systems
- know the basic ways of managing the OS
- know the issue of line connectivity in the server environment of the OS
- know how to design and manage the OS in various aspects of their deployment in a complex network environment, whether in a router, firewall or as an application server
- know how to design, deploy, and manage a network element implemented by the OS in the required role.
