Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Configure hosts and access internetworks using TCP/IP protocols
  • Identify the role of each TCP/IP component
  • Leverage all major TCP/IP application services
  • Avoid common internetworking problems
  • Troubleshoot TCP/IP networks using protocol analysis techniques
  • Employ popular Internet/intranet tools: FTP, Web browsers, WWW and others

Course Benefits

TCP/IP is the communications protocol suite on which the Internet and most commercial networks operate. In this course, you gain a comprehensive technical introduction to TCP/IP. Extensive hands-on exercises provide the practical experience you need to configure a host, employ TCP/IP tools, use application services and access TCP/IP-based internetworks.

Who Should Attend

Anyone working with TCP/IP protocols, or involved in developing or migrating to TCP/IP networks or accessing Internet services. Familiarity with local area network concepts and either Windows or UNIX is helpful.

Hands-On Training

Exercises throughout this course provide practical experience with TCP/IP internet-working issues and services, including:
  • Deploying protocol analysis techniques for Internet protocols: IP, ARP, TCP, UDP and HTTP
  • Solving duplicate IP address problems
  • Troubleshooting IP configuration problems
  • Building internets with IP routers: configuration and testing
  • Troubleshooting TCP/IP networks with ICMP and ping
  • Exploiting FTP and TELNET
  • Performing detailed protocol analysis of FTP sessions
  • Examining SMTP headers
  • Decoding HTTP traffic

  • Common IP routing protocols: RIP, OSPF
  • Troubleshooting router problems

Going beyond the intranet

  • Subdividing IP networks (subnetting)
  • Control messages on IP networks: ICMP
  • Subnetting and supernetting calculation formulas
  • Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
  • Network Address Translation (NAT)

Transport and Protocols: TCP and UDP

Transport Layer fundamentals

  • The role of the transport protocol
  • Reliable vs. best-effort services

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

  • Providing a reliable data delivery with TCP
  • Associating remote applications using port numbers and process addressing
  • TCP packet structure
  • TCP performance issues
  • Troubleshooting the protocol successfully

The User Datagram Protocol

  • Connectionless protocol operation
  • Providing reliability at the Application Layer

Applications and Management Protocols

Functions and operation of application protocols

  • File transfer protocols: FTP, TFTP
  • Network Virtual Terminal (TELNET)
  • Employing DNS BIND
  • Examining SMTP headers
  • Utilizing workstation mail: POP3, IMAP4
  • Examining the mechanisms of VoIP

Vendor implementations

  • Sharing files with NFS
  • NFS protocols: RPC, XDR, others
  • TCP/IP for Windows Server and UNIX

Managing TCP/IP networks

  • SNMP management paradigm
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
  • The management database: MIB
  • SNMP evolution: MIB I and II, RMON, SNMPv2, SNMPv3

Exploring Internet Services

Internet service access methods

  • Permanent direct connection
  • Building virtual private networks (VPNs) with PPP

Internet service tools
