The concepts covered in this course include advances in modern network technologies; Protocols and Models: how network protocols enable devices to access local and remote network resources; Physical Layer: how physical layer protocols, services, and network media support communications across networks; Data Link Layer: how media access control in the data link layer supports communication across networks; Ethernet Switching: how Ethernet operates in a switched network; Network Layer: how routers use network layer protocols and services to enable end-to-end connectivity; Address Resolution: Protocol (ARP) and Neighbor Discovery (ND) enable communication on a local area network; Transport Layer & Application Layer: Explain the operation of layers protocols in providing support to end-user applications. The hands-on labs include implementation of initial settings including passwords, IP addressing, and default gateway parameters on a network switch and end devices; Basic Switch and Device Configuration; Calculation of numbers between decimal and binary systems; IPv4 Addressing: IPv4 subnetting scheme to segment a network; Implementing an IPv6 addressing scheme; ICMP and various tools to test network connectivity; Network Security Fundamentals: Configure switches and routers with device hardening features to enhance security; Build a Small Network: Implement a network design for a small network to include a router, a switch, and end devices.Usually HeldThu 6:30pm–8:50pm
