Hands On TCP/IP
and Internet Protocols
Course Duration:
4 days
Training Course Description:
The Internet Protocol Suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, 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 heart 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 computer networks, and next generation
communications systems.
This course introduces the basic fundamentals of the Internet
Protocols suite using hands-on exercises to develop practical
skills. Delegates will understand the workings of the protocols and
then stage by stage build a complete Internetworking systems
including all the necessary servers to make it function. Delegates
will construct a complete service in the classroom using LANs, hubs,
switchs and routers.
On completion of this course delegates will be able to:
- Use protocol analysis techniques
for Internet protocols: IP, ARP, TCP, UDP and HTTP
- Solve duplicate IP address
problems
- Troubleshoot IP configuration
problems
- Build internets with IP routers
including configuration and testing
- Troubleshoot TCP/IP networks
with ICMP and ping
- Exploit FTP and TELNET
- Perform detailed protocol
analysis of FTP sessions
- Decode HTTP traffic
- Setup a web site
- Manage an Intranet with SNMP
Alternatives:
Delegates requiring a non Hands On introduction to datacoms and IP
should look at Understanding IP and Datanetworking
Delivery Method:
We have a number of public scheduled course dates across the UK,
please see the bottom of this page. As an onsite training provider,
we can deliver this course in any location in the US, EMEA, and Far
East. Please use our enquiry form to enquire about pricing.
