class.
Course Outline
Module 1: Reviewing the Suite
of TCP/IP Protocols
This module reviews the suite
of TCP/IP protocols. By understanding the function of each of
the protocols and how the protocols relate to each other, you
have the context for understanding network administration tasks
and network troubleshooting.

OSI Model
- Overview of the
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- Viewing Frames
Using Network Monitor
|
After completing this module,
students will be able to:
- Describe the architecture
of the TCP/IP protocol layers.
- Associate the protocols of
the TCP/IP suite with those of the OSI model.
- Describe the function of
the protocols at each layer of the TCP/IP model.
- Describe how a frame moves
through the TCP/IP layers and what happens at each layer.
Module 2: Assigning IP
Addresses in a Multiple Subnet Network
This module explains how to
construct and assign IP addresses and how to isolate addressing
issues associated with the IP routing process.
- Assigning IP
Addresses
- Creating a Subnet
- Creating Subnets
Using VLSM
- Creating Subnets
Using CIDR
- Using IP Routing
Tables
|
- Exercise 1:
Viewing the Routing Table
- Exercise 2: Adding
a Route to the Routing table
- Exercise 3:
Removing a Route from the Routing table
|
After completing this module,
students will be able to:
- Convert IP Addresses from
decimal to binary.
- Calculate a subnet mask.
- Create subnets using VLSM
and CIDR.
- Isolate addressing issues
associated with the IP routing process.
Module 3: Configuring a Client
IP Address
This module describes how to
configure an Internet Protocol (IP) address for a client
computer running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
- Configuring a
Client to Use a Static IP Address
- Configuring a Host
to Obtain an IP Address Automatically
- Using Alternate
Configuration
|
After completing this module,
students will be able to:
- Configure a client to use
a static IP address.
- Configure a client to
obtain an IP address automatically by using DHCP.
- Configure a client to
obtain an IP address automatically by using Alternate
Configuration
Module 4: Configuring a Client
for Name Resolution
This module describes the
various types of name resolution mechanisms provided by the
Windows operating systems and how to use and configure them for
clients on your network.
- Resolving Client
Names
- Managing the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Cache
- Overview of
NetBIOS
- Using Static
Naming Methods
- Using Dynamic
Naming Methods
- Summarizing the
Name Resolution Process
|
After completing this module,
students will be able to:
- Describe how client names
are resolved.
- Use ARP to identify client
media access control (MAC) addresses.
- Describe the function of
Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS).
- Configure a client to use
a static IP address.
- Configure a client to use
name resolution servers.
Module 5: Isolating Common
Connectivity Issues
This module explains how to
isolate common connectivity issues and describes how to use
utilities and tools as part of this process.
- Isolating Common
Connectivity Issues
- Using Utilities
and Tools to Isolate Connectivity Issues
|
- Exercise 1:
Isolating Connectivity Issues
