• 1 day • £880/$1235 • world-wide


You will learn:

  • The definition of a network protocol
  • The different protocol layers
  • The basics of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
  • IP Addressing
  • How to subnet a network
  • How the Internet Works
  • What repeaters, bridges, switches, routers and gateways are
  • What the Domain Name System is and how it works
  • What DHCP, ARP, WINS, DNS are and how they work.
  • The basics of Windows networking over TCP/IP
  • How the Web Works

 


Course Benefits

This course gives the delegate a broad understanding of the technologies behind modern IP networks. This includes TCP/IP basics and also the associated protocols used by Internet applications.

Delegates will learn how IP networks are designed and configured. In particular IP addresses, subnetting and routing are explained in detail.

Throughout the course, there is extensive opportunity for delegates to question and discuss areas of interest with the trainer.

 


Who should attend?

This course is ideal for IT support staff, network engineers and technical managers who wish to gain a basic understanding of IP networking.

Delegates should be computer literate, and be proficient with at least one operating system (for example Windows).
