Instruction will cover the fundamentals of LANs, WANs, routers, router programming, networking, network standards, and terminology. Topics also include the OSI model, cabling, cabling tools, TCP/IP protocol suite including IP addressing and subnetting. A close look at Ethernet and the functionality of the Data-Link and Physical layers allow students to visualize and describe communication between computers and systems. Students will also learn valuable network problem solving techniques and concepts. It is recommended that students have experience setting up home networks prior to attending this course. Students must have access to a Windows based multi-media computer.
