Recommendations: to have passed the subjects of Foundations of Computing, Computer Organization, Operating Systems and Networks.
With this subject, the student will obtain the necessary knowledge for the administration and management of computer networks. The student will be able to apply this knowledge in aspects of general configuration and typical services as well as inmonitoring, performance analysis, disaster recovery and security.
Topic 1: Network management.
Introduction to Gnu / Linux, Virtualization. Cgroups, Containers (LXC, Docker)
Administration of networks in Gnu/Linux systems (interconnection of private/public networks, IPv4/6).
Basic services (DNS / secureDNS, DHCP, LDAP/NIS/AD, SSH).
Network storage (NFS, DFS, SMB/CIF, CDN).
Management of integrated networks (WAN, Mobile, Domestic, LAN, IoT).
Software Defined Networks (SDN)
Topic 2: Network management.
Standard management models (OSI, Internet).
Functional areas (configuration, benefits, security, fault, accounting).
Introduction to SNMP, MIB.
Monitoring tools (tcpdump, Icinga/Nagios, Cacti, MRTG)
Topic 3: Network security
PKI Infrastructure and Digital Certificates (Certifying Entity).
Authentication: Passwords, Hashing (Hash Functions)
Access Authentication: PAM, LDAP.
Firewalls and proxies (Iptables, nftables, Apache Proxy, SOCKS, Squid).
Virtual private network (OpenVPN).
Security in wireless networks and virtual networks (MITM, DMZ, Brute-Force / SYN Flood Attacks).
Detection of intrusions and vulnerabilities (Nmap, Snort, OpenVas). Mitigation D / DoS.
Security in services (WAF).
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

a) Evaluation activities
The evaluation of the student will be based on the evaluation of the different activities of the subject:
General concepts: individual quiz of general concepts developed in the whole subject.
Applied concepts: quiz for the evaluation of concepts developed in workgroup.
Practices: assessment of collaborative work and personal work developed during the sessions.
Important: the activity of Practices are not recoverable, if the grade is lower than 5, the can't pass the subject.
b) Calendar of evaluation activities
The evaluation activities will be continued and the delivery is through the Virtual Campus. The dates of continuous evaluation and work delivery will be published at virtual campus.
The student will be informed in the virtual campus about possible changes since this is the information interchange platform between teachers and students.
c) Recovery process
If the student don't pass the individual evaluation of general/applied concepts and with practice grade >= 5 points and that the weighted grade is >= 3.5 points, an additional quiz will be programed.
The notes will compute the indicated percentage >= 5 points. Otherwise and after the recover quiz the student don't reach 5 points in each part, the student will not pass the course and as a final grade will have the equivalent weighted grade if <=5 or 4.5 if the calculation of the grade weighted this note is greater >=5.
d) Review of qualifications
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision will be fixed. The student can review the activity with the teacher. If the student does not apply for this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Qualifications
Honor Grade. Honor grade is the decision of the subject staff. The regulations of the UAB indicate that HG can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade >= 9.00 and only can be assigned up to 5% of HG of the total number of students enrolled.
The award of MH is considered a merit and sign of excellence and is reserved for students who meet the requirements and not will be assigned automatically.
In the case of not attending any evaluation the student will have a Not Evaluable as the final grade of the subject.
f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student in an evaluable activity will have a grade = zero (0).
These evaluation activities qualified with zero (0) will not be recoverable. If this activity is necessary to pass compulsory evaluation activities, this subject will be suspended directly (without the opportunity to recover it in the same course).
These irregularities include, among others:
In future editions of this subject, students with this irregular actions can't compesate activities from previous year.
In summary: the copy or plagiarism (or attempting) in any of the evaluation activities is equivalent to don't pass the subject & this action invalidate compensatory activities in subsequent courses.
h) Students that don't pass the subject in previous year.
These students, with a practices grade >= 5 can compensate the practices of the curent year.
