Hands-On IP for TeleCom Technicians Internetworking, TCP/IP, VLANS, Wirelss 802.11 and more...

Course Description

The Internet Protocol Suite, commonly known as TCPIP, forms the basis for the Internet and the next generation of telecommunications services. It is now at the core of all modern mobile phone networks, is used for the distribution of television services, carries electronic mail and is at the heard of all PC networks.

Understanding how the protocols function and interact with each other is critical for engineers and technicians who will configure and troubleshoot next generation systems.

This course introduces the basic fundamentals of the Internet Protocols suite using hands-on exercises to develop practical skills. Attendees will learn the workings of the protocols and then stage by stage build a complete Internetworking system including all the necessary servers to make it function. They will use their own lap-top computers with free software supplied to construct a the service, including LANs, Routers and wireless LAN connections.

Students Will Learn

Identify The Scope And Limitations Of Ipv4 And Infrastructures Built Upon It
Appreciate The Standard Terms Used In Its Description
Divide Networks Into Sub-Networks And Define Sub-Net Masks
Describe In Detail The Features Of The IP Header
Configure Networks To Carry IP Over Both Wired And Wireless Lans
Wireless 802.11 Set-Up, Configuration and Troubleshooting
Compare The Major Distributed Dynamic Routing Protocols And Select The Correct One For Each Application
Identify How Each Of The Major Applications Function
Troubleshoot Both ClientServer And Peer To Peer Environments
And More...

Target Audience

This course is for engineers and technicians who will configure and troubleshoot next generation systems.
