At the end of this course participants should be able to :
- Describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking terminology and internetworking concepts.
- Identify the major components of a network system, including clients and servers, network interface cards (NICs), internetworking devices, media and topologies.
- Describe the functions, operations, and primary components of local area networks (LANs), wide-area networks (WANs), metropolitan-area networks (MANs), storage-area networks (SANs), content networks (CNs) and virtual private networks (VPNs).
- Describe the major network access methods and outline the key features of each.
- Describe the functions and operations of switching technologies.
- Explain the format and significance of each of the following components to a network system: IP addressing, classes, reserved address space and subnetting.
- Calculate valid subnetwork addresses and mask values so that user/network requirements are met when given an IP address scheme.
- Explain the purposes of networking addresses, routing protocols and routed protocols
- Describe the functions, operations and primary components of WAN technologies.
- Describe the function, operation and primary components required to provide remote access services.
- Use available configuration tools to establish connectivity to the appropriate network device in order to complete the initial device configuration.
- Use the appropriate show commands to display network operational parameters so that anomalies are detected.
