Networking Fundamentals

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Networking provides a way for devices and users within a network to be able to communicate and share data. In order to understand how networks function, you need to start at the beginning and learn the fundamental building blocks of networks and how data travels from one point to another. In this course, you'll learn about the fundamental protocols, IP addressing, and network settings for devices to communicate. You'll also learn how to configure and setup network cards, routers and firewalls, as well as how to configure a wireless network.

In addition, the sharing of files and folders over wired and wireless networks is a big part of how users access information throughout different types of networks. Ensuring these networks are running properly will allow the information to be accessed quickly.

Why you should attend?

Learn how to configure different Windows networks, how to create and manage network shares, how to monitor the network connections and remotely access computers, and how to configure networking on a Mac OSX 10.8.
