Practical Troubleshooting of TCP/IP Networks
Training Overview:
This course is a hands-on workshop, where you will spend over 70% of the course time in setting up and troubleshooting TCP/IP-based networks. Commencing with a simple introduction to the hardware level of Ethernet, you will quickly move onto coverage of the Internet (IP) layer. The Host-to-Host (TCP) layer also be covered in considerable practical detail. The Application layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite will be covered by a detailed examination of protocols such as BOOTP, DHCP and SNMP. The simple but vital TCP/IP utilities such as Ping, Arp and Tracert will then be tested out on the network. Finally, you will construct a Virtual LAN and Virtual Private Network, and configure a simple firewall. One of the best ways to learn and retain your knowledge is with handson sessions where you will gain a broad range of skills that every competent network engineer needs in his skills toolbox.
