Hands On TCP/IP and Internet Protocols


Training Course Outline

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.
