Implementing a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure: Network Hosts
Program 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.
Lessons
Overview of the OSI ModelOverview of the TCP/IP Protocol SuiteViewing Frames Using Network MonitorAfter completing this module students will be able to:
Describe the architecture of the OSI reference model and the function of each layer.Describe the four layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite.Capture and view frames by using Network Monitor.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.
Lessons
Configuring IP Addressing for Simple NetworksConfiguring IP Addressing for Complex NetworksUsing IP Routing TablesOvercoming Limitations of the IP Addressing SchemeLab: Assigning IP Addresses in a Multiple Subnet Network
Exercise 1: Defining the Subnet Mask for a WANExercise 2: Defining the Subnet Mask for Supernetting Four Class C NetworksAfter completing this module students will be able to:
Explain how to configure IP addressing for simple TCP/IP networks.Explain how to configure IP addressing for complex TCP/IP networks.Describe routing protocols and how they are used.Overcome limitations that are caused by class-based routing.Module 3: Configuring a Client IP Address
This module describes how to configure an IP address for a client computer running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Lessons
Configuring a Client to Use a Static IP AddressConfiguring a Client to Obtain an IP Address AutomaticallyUsing Alternate ConfigurationLab: Configuring Hosts to Connect to a Network Running the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
Exercise 1: Viewing DHCP PacketsAfter 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 ConfigurationModule 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.
Lessons
Overview of Name ResolutionResolving Host NamesResolving NetBIOS NamesLab: Configuring a Client for Name Resolution
Exercise 1: Viewing DNS PacketsAfter completing this module students will be able to:
Describe how name resolution occurs.Describe how host names are used and resolved.Describe how NetBIOS names are used and resolved.Module 5: Isolating Common Connectivity Issues
This module explains how to isolate common connectivity issues and describes how to use utilities as part of this process.
Lessons
Analyzing Client Startup CommunicationDetermining the Causes of Connectivity IssuesUsing Network Utilities and Tools to Isolate Connectivity IssuesLab A: Isolating Common Connectivity Issues
