Course
Digicomp Code TCL
TCP/IP in Local Area Networks (LAN) («TCL»)
Course facts
- Understanding the concepts and architecture of computer networks with Ethernet and TCP/IP
- Knowing Ethernet switches and cabling and understanding VLANs, using real equipment
- Knowing and understanding how TCP/IP networks work, based on real networks
- Configuring and troubleshooting Ethernet and TCP/IP networks independently
Hardly any local area network (LAN) today can do without Ethernet. Similarly, TCP/IP has long been the de facto protocol standard for computer networks and the basis of the Internet. Sound knowledge in these areas is a basic requirement in IT today.
This course provides basic knowledge in these two important areas.The TCP/IP part corresponds to the course TCP/IP Basics (TCN).
Topics:
- Concepts and architecture of computer networks
- Cable systems
- Ethernet switches, operation and configuration
- VLANs: concept and configurations
- Linking several switches
- Solving typical problems with appropriate tools
- Layer architecture of the TCP/IP stack
- Analysing and understanding TCP/IP installations with graphical and command line tools
- Ethernet and other protocols: ARP, IP, DHCP
- TCP and UDP
- Routing
- Name resolution with DNS
- Configuring and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks
Numerous sample hardware is available for the numerous exercises. In addition, each participant has their own virtual training environment with several VMs in our data centre. Cisco switches, Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, Wireshark for analysing network traffic and numerous other built-in tools and tools available on the Internet are used.
This course is explicitly practice-orientated. Concepts and theory are derived from practical exercises.
This course is aimed at IT system administrators and IT support staff from all sectors.
Knowledge and practised use of modern operating systems, in particular Microsoft Windows, are required.
