Description
A 10-day Training Program to provide participants with a working knowledge of data networks and TCP/IP and an opportunity to put into practice this knowledge. The Training Program is divided into three parts:
Introduction to data networks and TCP/IP which delves into the nuts and bolts of the technologies and protocols that drive the Internet and today's corporate networks.Switching in TCP/IP networks which provides the tools required to design and build a switched campus network. Through practical hands-on activities, the participant will construct a working Local Area Network (LAN) and steadily grow its complexity to ultimately build a small scale switched campus network.Routing in TCP/IP networks which provides the tools required to design and build a routed network. Through practical hands-on activities, the participant will learn different ways to carry out routing within an autonomous system.
