Description

This is the first course in a five part series that presents students with a broad overview of TCP/IP network technology. This course will provide students an outline of the infrastructure of the Internet and the place of TCP/IP within this infrastructure. It will describe the features of TCP/IP architecture and Internet addressing, and cover the techniques for troubleshooting TCP/IP networks. This course will also introduce students to the network environment, and the principles of VoIP and Multicast IP.

Audience

The audience for this course will apply to students involved in defining network architecture, identifying infrastructure components, and monitoring and analyzing network performance. They will also be responsible for the design and management of enterprise TCP/IP networks. Prerequisite knowledge for this curriculum is that students must have CIW Foundations certification or equivalent experience. CIW accepts CompTIA's iNET+ certification in place of the CIW Foundations course. This course is mapped to the Master CIW Administrator Certification Program and covers exam number 1D0-460.
