Linux Networking

This highly practical instructor led Linux Networking course introduces the delegate to the main concepts of Linux networking and TCP/IP. It describes the structure of networks, topologies, TCP/IP Protocol suite, IP addressing, Application Layer protocols and packet capture techniques using Wireshark.

The delegate will learn Linux commands to view and configure Linux network cards, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well as subnetting and analysis of network packets for key applications using Wireshark.

This Linux Networking course is based on the Red Hat/CentOS Linux distribution, the delegate will be able to apply the concepts covered on this course to other Linux based distributions.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

• Networking hardware and topologies
• Networking ports, sockets and MAC addresses
• OSI model
• Networking standards, authorities and institutions
• IPv4 Classful and Classless addressing
• Subnetting an IP address range
• TCP/IP and the OSI model
• TCP data flow and three-way handshake
• Linux networking commands
• IPv6 address format and allocation
• IPv6 configuration
• Routing tables, protocols and software
• Common applications used with TCP/IP
• Capturing network packets with Wireshark
• Wireshark filters and Expert Information
• Viewing Application layer protocol packets
• Network troubleshooting
• Detecting network errors, retransmissions and resets

Users and Administrators who need to design, implement, troubleshoot and oversee TCP/IP networks. This Linux Networking course is also suitable for delegates who need an understanding of TCP/IP and are required to maintain a network.

To provide the skills necessary for the delegate to design, build, test and subnet TCP/IP Networks. The delegate will also learn how to capture packets and trace and rectify faults on the network.

There are no formal pre-requisites, although knowledge and understanding of an operating system is essential. Having LINUX/UNIX knowledge is particularly advantageous, as the course is built around TCP/IP and LINUX/UNIX.

This course features and demonstrates Linux networking commands as well as graphical packet capture and analysis.
