Configuring the Network

 Course Description
    Course Outline/Details

The Configuring the Network course teaches you about the Internet layer protocols, the Internet Protocol (IP) datagram, IP address types, subnetting and variable length subnet mask (VLSM), and interface configuration files. It also teaches you how to administer logical interfaces, how to increase network throughput and availability, and how to implement multipathing and trunking. The course describes the basics of routing, including routing schemes, routing protocol types, the routing table, how to configure static and dynamic routing, and how to troubleshoot routing. It also describes Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), including IPv6 addressing and autoconfiguration and how to enable, manage, and configure IPv6. This course teaches you about unicast and multicast address types, the transport layer, the user datagram protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
