Networking Training Overview
If you can understand the fundamental networking building blocks, you can understand everything. That is the goal of the Networking Fundamentals course. The course is made up of three separate classes: Networking 101, 102, and 103.
Networking 101 picks apart the subneting process. We start at the very basic building blocks with some binary. Then move into counting and converting binary numbers. That knowledge is then applied to the process of subneting, as we discuss the binary method of subnetting. After some practice, we will then look at a subneting shortcut that will make 'on the fly' subnetting much more convenient, accurate, and quick.
Networking 102 is all about exploring everything that happens to get a packet from here to there. We start with a very basic network set up of two PC's directly connected to one another, and use that to visit ARP and how it works, as well as why it is needed. We then expand our topology and add a switch in the middle, which lets us study switching behaviors. And finally we add one, then two routers to explore the process of Routing.
Networking 103 dives a little further into OSI layers two, three, and four. We start out exploring the concept of VLANs, and discussing what they provide and how. Then we finish our discussion of VLANs with a look at a Layer 2 Ethernet header. We then look at the Internet Protocol (IP) and study a few of the built in features of IP. After witch we take a look at the IP Protocol header. Next, we dive into TCP and discuss its many features, as well as how they provide it. We then take a look at a TCP header and study TCP in live packet captures. Finally we take a look at UDP, and study UDP traffic in Wireshark.
By the end of this class, the students will be able to:
- Understand IP Addresses and Subneting
- Understand the roles of each layer of the OSI Model
- Understand and explain the functionality of hosts, switches, routers, and ARP
- Fully comprehend what it takes for a Packet to travel across a network or networks
- Understand VLANs and how they are used
- Understand the L2, L3, and L4 headers (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP)
- Understand MAC Addresses, IP Addresses, and TCP/UDP Port Numbers
- Understand what TCP accomplishes and how it accomplishes it
- Understand UDP, and the benefits it provides
