LABORATORY WORKSHOP ON COMPUTER NETWORK MONITORING BASED ON A DOMESTIC OPERATING SYSTEM AND OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE: METHODOLOGY AND AUTOMATED VERIFICATION OF RESULTS
Abstract
The article addresses the problem of organizing a laboratory workshop on computer network administration and monitoring disciplines in the context of transition to domestic operating systems and import-independent administration tools. The necessity of a two-stage verification of laboratory work results is substantiated: automated verification of technical specifications and expert evaluation of architectural solutions. A methodology for building a reproducible educational environment based on the GNS3 + VirtualBox + Vagrant + ALT Linux + Zabbix stack is described, enabling simulation of a small enterprise infrastructure. Two laboratory works are presented: on SNMP protocol fundamentals and on configuring network device monitoring using Zabbix with network map construction. It is shown that the use of the Vagrant box mechanism ensures portability of the educational environment, accelerates classroom preparation, and simplifies remote student work. The pedagogical effectiveness of the proposed approach is substantiated through the concept of practice-oriented learning, the activity-based approach, and the principle of professional orientation of educational content. The methodology was tested within the course "Computer Network Management and Monitoring" of the master's program "Computer Systems and Networks" at HSE University and adapted for the level of secondary vocational education in specialty 09.02.06 "Network and System Administration". The results confirm that the proposed environment develops students' stable professional skills in working with real monitoring tools used in the IT industry.
