TCP/IP and LAN Technologies
This course has been designed to provide delegates with a basic theoretical knowledge of Internetworking and focuses on the use of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Included in the course is a breakdown of the Internet Protocol version 4 address structure and how a network is logically subdivided through the use of subnetting. This course forms part of the prerequisites for further networking courses such as Cisco’s Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND).

Prerequisites
None, although a basic understanding of Datacomms would be beneficial.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this class, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic history of the Internet.
• ·Understand the terms WAN, LAN, MAN, Internet and Intranet.
• ·Determine the functions of the Open Systems Interconnect 7 Layer Model.
• ·Determine the functions of the Internet Protocol 4 Layer Model.
• ·Differentiate between different standard Network Topologies.
• ·Understand the basic functions of a Hub, Switch and Router.
• ·Comprehend the difference between Distance Vector and Link State Routing rotocols.
• ·Determine the function of TCP/IP Protocols and at what layer of the Protocol tack they operate.
• ·Determine the Class of a given IP address.
• ·Perform subnetting of a given network address.

Who Should Attend
Network technicians, Technical Managers and Support Staff who need an overview of networking technologies relating to the TCP/IP protocol suite.

Course Outline

• Introduction to TCP/IP and Networking.
• OSI 7 Layer Model.
• Networks and Networking Terms and Definitions.
• Interconnecting Networks with Repeaters, Hubs, Switches and Routers.
• Routing Protocol Basics.
• TCP/IP Ports and Sockets.
• TCP/IP Protocols.
• IPv4 Addressing.
• Dividing Networks into Subnetworks through the process of Subnetting.

This course is theory-based but does include a small exercise in subnetting and also includes small practical demonstrations throughout the sessions.
