Training Course Summary:

This course has been designed to provide delegates with a basic theoretical knowledge of Internetworking and focuses on the use of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Included in the course is a breakdown of the Internet Protocol version 4 address structure and how a network is logically subdivided through the use of subnetting. This course forms part of the prerequisites for further networking courses such as Cisco’s Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND).

Pre-Requisites:

None, although a basic understanding of Datacomms would be beneficial

Who Should Attend:

Network technicians, Technical Managers and Support Staff who need an overview of networking technologies relating to the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Training Course Overview/Content:

At the end of this class, participants will be able to:

·Understand the basic history of the Internet.

·Understand the terms WAN, LAN, MAN, Internet and Intranet.

·Determine the functions of the Open Systems Interconnect 7 Layer Model.

·Determine the functions of the Internet Protocol 4 Layer Model.

·Differentiate between different standard Network Topologies.

·Understand the basic functions of a Hub, Switch and Router.

·Comprehend the difference between Distance Vector and Link State Routing Protocols.

·Determine the function of TCP/IP Protocols and at what layer of the Protocol Stack they operate.

·Determine the Class of a given IP address.

·Perform subnetting of a given network address.

Introduction to TCP/IP and Networking.

· OSI 7 Layer Model.

· Networks and Networking Terms and Definitions.

· Interconnecting Networks with Repeaters, Hubs, Switches and Routers.

· Routing Protocol Basics.

· TCP/IP Ports and Sockets.

· TCP/IP Protocols.

· IPv4 Addressing.

· Dividing Networks into Subnetworks through the process of Subnetting.


This course is theory-based but does include a small exercise in subnetting and also includes small practical demonstrations throughout the sessions.
