IP Network Fundamentals with Practical Hands-On
Course Overview
This course is a unique blend of telecom and IP technologies, tailored for network beginners interested in the challenging and exciting world of networking technologies. It is ideal for anyone who wants to learn the basics of switching, routing, IP addressing, and carrier ethernet transport technologies. Course topics include essential technologies, structures, functions, and data transmission methods in modern LANs and WANs. Hands-on labs offer participants the opportunity to build a simple network from scratch, and then observe the network behavior with a protocol analyzer. Practical sessions are held after each module.
Target Audience
- Network Engineers, Designers, and Administrators
