Course 746:
TCP/IP Networking Foundations
(4 days)
Course Description
In this essential hands-on course, students learn the foundations of TCP/IP Networking. This course covers the essentials of TCP/IP in a Network Environment. Labs are presented using real-world scenarios, including a mixture of Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Cisco Operating Systems. The course begins with building a network from just a pile of cables, and ends with teams of students building a multi-segment TCP/IP network.
Who Should Attend
This will benefit System and Network Administrators, Managers, Developers, and others on the network who need to have a foundation knowledge and exposure to TCPIP. Usage of multiple platforms, including Windows, UNIX/Linux, and Cisco is essential to becoming more effective with TCP/IP, and this course includes them all.
Prerequisites
This course has no pre-requisites, except a desire to learn TCP/IP.
