Overview
This 5 day course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network, including configuring switches and routers, backup/restore configuration and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.
Delegates should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network with supervision.
Audience
This course is intended for System Engineers who will install, operate and troubleshoot a small branch office
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, delegates will be able to:
- Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
- Use the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues
- Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access
- Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP/IP
- Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing
- Use the command-line interface to discover neighbours on the network and managing the router’s startup and configuration
Prerequisites
There are no pre-requisites for this course.
