Advanced TCP/IP Concepts and Practices

Advanced TCP/IP Concepts and Practices are an 18-hour course that emphasizes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) routing, network troubleshooting, network management, and nextgeneration Internet protocol technologies. It guides students through the concepts and protocols used in Internet routing, and teaches them how to troubleshoot TCP/IP networks using a packet sniffer and TCP/IP utilities. Students will configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to effectively manage a network, and implement a functional Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6), network in the classroom.

Pre-requisites:

Students must have CIW Foundations certification or equivalent experience, and have completed TCP/IP Internetworking or have equivalent knowledge of TCP/IP architecture and core protocols. Experience with UNIX, Novell or Windows NT/2000 systems and network administration is also required.

The objective of this course si to explain the difference between direct and indirect routing. Also to describe the routing process and explain the function of routing information tables. The participants will be able to compare static routing with dynamic routing, and manually configure a static routing table. Also further explain the difference between interior and exterior routing protocols, and identify routing protocols within each category.
