IP1

Understanding TCP/IP & the Internet

.This course introduces the delegate to the main concepts of TCP/IP. It describes the structure of the TCP/IP Protocol suite and the functions and Protocols at each layer. If you are a Solaris administrator, have a look at our Solaris 10 Network Administration course for more in-depth coverage.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

To provide the skills necessary for the delegate to design, build and test a small TCP/IP Network, comprising of three subnetworks and two routers. The delegate will learn how to trace and rectify faults on the network.

At the end of the course the delegate will be able to:

  • Describe the four layers of the TCP/IP Protocol suite and the functions of each layer
  • Identify the needs of, and the purpose of each of the protocols at each layer
  • Use and configure each of the common applications used with TCP/IP
  • Set up and configure a small network
  • Configure a router using static routing and RIP
  • Split a network into three subnets
  • Use the common network commands to troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network
  • Examine a TCP/IP trace at all levels, and diagnose network problems

INTENSITY: About 40% of the course is practicals, and 60% lectures.

RESOURCE: Each student will have exclusive use of a PC for the duration of the course. Each student will be provided with a full set of training notes relating to the course.

SUITABILITY: IT managers, developers, system administrators and technical support staff who require a solid grounding in the fundamental technologies and protocols which underly the provision of Internet services. As useful for those making purchasing or managerial decisions over IP networking goods and services, as it is for those engaged in technical implementation. Basic knowledge of HTML and HTTP is a requirement; some knowledge of CSS, SGML and XML would be a definite advantage. Please call if you require any advice.

FOLLOW UPS:

Please ASK about our other training courses - Perl programming, Apache, Samba, Unix and Solaris, TCP/IP Internet and the rest!

PRACTICALS / TAKEAWAYS: Each student leaves the course with his own set of training notes for the material covered.

Every student who attends this course at our training centre will be issued with a signed certificate of course completion, which we will be happy to "authenticate" upon future request.
Students on this course can print out their work and take it away with them.
