Course 606: Hands-On TCP/IP Networking Training Workhop - TONEX.com

TCP/IP is the communications protocol suite on which the Internet and most commercial networks operate. In this course, we will cover a comprehensive technical overview of TCP/IP. Extensive hands-on exercises provide the practical experience you need to configure a host, employ TCP/IP tools, use application services and access TCP/IP-based internetworks.

This workshop is a structured approach to the concepts and principles of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite, how the most important protocols function, and their basic configuration.

Upon completion of this course, the students wil:

• Understand The essential elements of the TCP/IP protocol suite
• Develop a "hands-on" skill set targeted at TCP/IP networking in the following key areas of IP Addressing and Subnetting, Routing protocols and the control plane of IP and Quality of Service
• Explore the 7-layer OSI model, and the TCP/IP suite of protocols
• Designn IP networks and subnetworks using addressing expertise developed in this class
• Understand selection options of IP routing protocols
• Configure fundamental properties of IP Quality of Service
• Gain a fundamental understanding of Voice over IP, Video over IP and Multicast Services
• Understand the future of IP - IPv6
• Use a protocol analyzer to isolate and troubleshoot network problems
• Troubleshoot problems at each layer of a TCP/IP network
