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 as well as IP addressing and subnetting.

The delegate will learn and acquire skills as follows:

• Networking standards and topologies
• The TCP/IP Protocol suite and the functions of each layer
• Network commands to view and troubleshoot a TCP/IP network
• TCP and UDP applications and headers
• Capturing network traffic with Wireshark
• The role of unicasts, broadcasts and multicasts
• Classful and classless IP addressing
• Private and Link Local IP addresses
• IPv4 subnetting
• Networking components
• Routing principles and protocols
• Application layer protocols
• Configuring and networking IPv6 addresses

Anyone who needs to design, implement and maintain a TCP/IP Network. The TCP/IP Networking course is also suitable for delegates who need to troubleshoot and understand TCP/IP networks and their components.

To provide the skills necessary for the delegate to design, build and test a small TCP/IP network. The delegate will gain understanding of network software to plan IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The delegate will learn how to capture network traffic in order to 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.
