Getting skills in configuration and management of communication network elements using the DiP software and hardware complex

Abstract

The article focuses on the problems of engineering education in a technical higher educational institution in particular on acquiring practical skills in configuration and management of communication network elements. This became possible through the creation of a software and hardware complex for studying the operation of optical lines and switching equipment, which will allow students who major in Information and Communication Technologies and Communication Systems, and others like it, to obtain theoretical, and most importantly, practical skills in modeling and operating networks of various levels of complexity. The configurations presented in the article are not reference or basic-they are given for an example and awareness of things, since for each network solution, individual parameters and technologies are applied.
