TCP/IP Networking

The TCP/IP Networking course introduces the delegate to the main concepts of TCP/IP. It describes the structure of the TCP/IP Protocol suite, IP addressing and practical functions using Wireshark.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

• Networking hardware
• Networking models and standards
• IP Addressing
• Subnetting an IP address range
• The four layers of the TCP/IP Protocol suite and the functions of each layer
• The common applications used with TCP/IP
• Routing tables, protocols and software
• IPv6 addresses and configuration
• The Wireshark network monitoring program
• Wireshark filters and Expert Information
• The common network commands to configure and troubleshoot a TCP/IP Network
• Application layer protocols such as SSH, DNS, DHCP and NTP
• Network monitoring and troubleshooting
• Performance analysis

Anyone who needs to design, implement and oversee a TCP/IP Network. The TCP/IP 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.

There is no practical content within this TCP/IP Networking course.
