SD 229 Networking Concepts I

Knowing how to install, configure, and troubleshoot a computer network is a highly marketable and exciting skill. This course first introduces the fundamental building blocks that form a modern network, such as protocols, media, topologies, and hardware. It then provides in-depth coverage of the most important concepts in contemporary networking, such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, wireless transmission, virtual networks, security, and troubleshooting. After completing this course and completing the exercises, students will be prepared to select the best network design, hardware, and software for an environment. Students will also master the skills to build a network from scratch and maintain, upgrade, troubleshoot, and manage an existing network. This course culminates in the opportunity to test for CompTIA’s Network+ N10-006 certification. Prerequisite: successful completion of all SCADA courses previously required up to this point.
