Technician: Networking School

Ideal for both beginners and individuals seeking to formalise and increase their IP (Internet Protocol) networking knowledge, this course will provide attendees with an understanding of IP. With the vast majority of subsystems now having the ability to be converged over an IP network, this is arguably the most important topic to ensure attendees have a solid foundation in.

Topics covered include:

• Understanding the 7 layer OSI Model and how it relates to networking (essential learning)
• Applying the OSI model to residential network structure and setup
• Recognising and understanding basic network hardware
• IP Addressing - using the right addresses for the right job
• Basic network troubleshooting
• Common network protocols including: TCP, UDP, IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT
• Selecting and configuring consumer routers
• Creating system documentation for IP networks

This course compare wireless to other physical layer types and explores the behaviours of RF considering data speed, frequency, and coverage. Attendees will learn the importance and opportunities of wireless security, making sure customer networks are protected, and how to expand a wireless network to cover larger areas.

Topics covered include:

• Understanding Wireless as a physical media
• Radio Frequency transmission as part of the Electromagnetic spectrum
• Controlling and maximising wireless coverage using different Antenna types
• Protecting wireless networks with wireless security
• Expanding wireless networks with additional access points
• Controlling wireless networks with management systems

Attendees who have completed the Residential Networking course are now ideally placed to study this more advanced course which builds upon the knowledge and skills previously gained.

Once the basics of IP Networking are understood (hint: Can you confidently explain layers 1-3 of the OSI model?), this course will deliver attendees the knowledge and skills required to start building more complex networks.

Topics covered include:

• File sharing between IP connected devices
• Remote access with Dynamic DNS
• The Client - Server model
• 'Ports' and 'Services'
• Access to LAN devices from the WAN via Port Forwarding
• Securing external access using VPNs (Virtual Private Networks)
• Understanding basic subnets
• Dividing Networks using vLANs (Virtual LANs)
