Troubleshooting a TCP IP Network This WestNet e-Learning module covers a general approach for troubleshooting a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network. We will also discuss the specific tools used to troubleshoot a network, including Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Ipconfig, Nbtstat, Netstat, packet Internet groper (Ping), and Tracert.  more...

LAN and WAN Protocols This WestNet e-Learning module explores local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) protocols and how they are used to get information into the node so it can, in turn, be delivered to the processes at the higher layers.  more...

Connecting Computers This WestNet e-Learning module reviews the Physical Layer components and moves on to explain the deeper technical details of these media.  more...

Future Technologies Supporting Convergence This module discusses future technologies that will make convergence easier, more reliable, and more convenient, not only for the user but for the maintainer. Here we discuss the improvements in QoS, addressing, and reliability that Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) makes over Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). We complete the text by discussing mobile, wireline and wireless technologies,  more...

The course describes the problems that can occur in the physical  more...

Network Types The first lesson in this module provides a more in depth discussion of LAN technologies. First it defines how the Data Link Layer is divided into the Media Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayers. The International Electrical and Electronic Engineera s (IEEE) specifications for Ethernet Token and FDDI are briefly reviewed. The rest of the lesson is dedicated to Ethernet  more...

Switching Fundamentals This module addresses switching fundamentals. Lesson 1 discusses LAN transmissions and how they share the available network bandwidth. The lesson introduces the essential terms collision domain and broadcast domain which describe network access and device functionality. Bridging and switching is discussed in Lesson 2. Although different in how they operate both devices learn and store MAC address  more...
