Hands-On Advanced Internetworking TCP-IP / IPv6 / VoIP

Course Description

In this Hands-On 3-day course, gives a deeper understanding of internetworking and routed network protocols. The focus of the course is the design, operation, implementation and analysis of newer application and routing scenarios in todays IP network environments.

Since secure, efficient, and reliable communications is imperative to internetworks, this course also goes into IP addressing, Voice Over IP and IPv6. Emphasis will be on end-to-end issues including all protocol layers, how to design IP sub-networks on a live network constructed in class to reinforce concepts, techniques, terminology, conventions, and components of Advanced Internetworking.

Students Will Learn

Accomplish hands-on experiments using PC's, successfully reinforcing discussed material.
Analyze IP Subnetting examples and understand the various approaches and alternatives of each.
Design and configure different types of addressing and masking schemes for specific network implementations
Become aware of TCPIP routing using the in-class router network.
Configure their TCPIP client software to successfully communicate with other subnets.
See the Successful Business Aspects of VoIP.
Know the Components necessary for Successful VoIP.
View Voice Video alternatives using Frame Relay, ATM and IP
Interconnect Web CAM to LAN for Video Services.
Generate VoiceVideo calls using NetMeeting.
Generate Voice calls using VoIP Gateways Connected to the LAN.
Configure Interconnect Phones Over the Router Environment you Build in class.
Construct Configure Router Network for Successful Sub-Netting and VOIP.
Create Voice and Video calls using the Integrated Gateway capabilities within the Network.
And Much More...
