Downtime and same solutions are necessary for old purpose entrepreneurs. A large network solution is the best washing machine in the camp. Opengear created a checklist, with network administrators standing next to the hooked laptop.

Network administrators, who have established a checklist of Opengear, verringern das Risiko, etwas zu übersehen.

I am the administrator’s office of the “Langeweile” not for: updates of the router and switches for connecting new clients and support for analysis and traffic analysis – analysis of traffic is fast. And all these elements of protection against failure can lead to a significant downfall – downtime as a use of Super-GAU. Stable, secure and resilient network services ensure sollten daher administrators immersed in Opengear’s checklist, out-of-band management solutions for security infrastructures, consultants and testing, and if you need the following :

1. Network architecture and redundancy

Network business administrators are resolved by a secure ring or mesh topology, so that your network business is redundant. Natural hardware redundancy, as well as redundant networks such as routers, switches or firewalls, are key advantages. Neben topologischer und gerätetechnischer Redundanz ist Multi-Homing a Puzzlestück auf dem Weg zur Redundanz: This is a network project of several Internet providers assured. It is not expected that load balancing will be optimized and final provisioning mechanisms implemented.

2. Resilience through alternative networks

Controller server and out-of-band network services for users, as well as network production companies within network companies, are a core aspect within the network factory. With 4G or 5G-Fallbacks, administrators can manage traffic during downtime using the mobile service and thus ensure stable usage during downtime. It is best if you have a SIM card failover function for one of two other telecom providers, when the first cellular service provider has encountered a problem.

3. Monitoring and Monitoring

The current monitoring system is an important asset in downtime, so it allows monitoring of network traffic and services. Administrators ensure that security logs and security logs are monitored and the system alerts if any anomalies or alarms are triggered.

4. Social security

An English firewall is required. Jedoch müssen Netzwerkadministratoren die Configuration et die angewandten Regeln regelmäßig überprüfen and actualisieren. The Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS) makes it easy to detect the benefits of VPNs. VPN tunnel for remote users is easier to control than VPN tunnel for remote users. The network administrator is also responsible for maintaining device usage data and providing control (and multi-factor authentication) for the relevant system infrastructure to be implemented.

5. Backups and storage features

Regular backups of router, switch, firewall, and controller server configuration dates are what allow for a faster, cleaner network downtime. For a description of this process regarding a disaster recovery plan, the holiday starting points will be resolved. An automated backup strategy for which dates is carried out.

6. Software and Firmware Management

The computer hardware is also available for network companies, as they have regelmäßig Software and Firmware-Updates available. Administrators must constantly audit and analyze House data – and identify security issues at any time.

7. Performance planning and performance

Network administrators take care of network verification and network configuration as well as checking the latest tests. Now you can find out if you can identify and correct them. The tools and methods, an in-depth study of the network’s working methods as a priority (quality of service), are undoubtedly useful.

8. Documentation and Process

A new network administrator for the job, it’s active and detailed documentation of network topology and in-depth configuration without deletion. There is also an up-to-date list of support contacts from Internet providers, hardware vendors, and external vendors. Prozesse für den Umgang mit Downtimes oder Sicherheitsvorfällen sollten klar definiert sein.

9. Schools and awareness

A good resilience strategy is also applied to all measures of the Sachen network of schools and their best practices. Set network operations test simulations with a good method, team reaction to superior tests.

10. Physical security

Auf die Netzwerkgeräte sollte grundsätzlich nur aurisiertes Personal physischen Zugriff erhalten, insbesondere auf large Rechenzentren. Gleichzeitig sollten Sensoren installed werden, the etwa Temperatur and Luftfeuchtigkeit überwachen, damit the Hardware unter optimalen Bedingungen läuft.

11. Audits and reviews

Zu guter Letzt sind regelmäßige durchführungen von internen et externaln Sicherheitsaudits sowie die kontinuierliche Anpassung der Netzwerkresilienzstrategie von entscheidender Bedeutung.

“Network administrators, along with this checklist, stop to avoid risks and are something to watch out for,” says Dirk Schuma, Sales Director EMEA North at Opengear. “This will help you avoid seamless service interruptions and minimize downtime. »
