Understanding Network Fundamentals
Overview
This three day course is an introduction to the core concepts of computer networking. This three-day course is a combination of lectures and hands-on lab exercises to establish a practical and foundational knowledge of network operations.
In this training course, you will configure a workstation to connect to a network, use a network sniffer to analyze network traffic, examine switch and router configurations, implement basic IPv4 addressing and subnetting, and explore network security solutions. You will gain an understanding of basic network functions, standards, and protocols, from the fundamentals of network architecture to the practical aspects of configuring and securing networks.
