TCP/IP training course benefits
This unique IP training course has been developed by LEVER Technology Group PLC to meet the requirements of IT professionals supporting modern TCP/IP-based networks. This IP course is designed for people who want a truely comprehensive coverage of TCP/IP protocols and the recent developments in IP networking.
In just three days, this TCP/IP course provides attendees with the in-depth knowledge and skills that are needed to support IP networks and their users, including advanced diagnosis and troubleshooting of networks using TCP/IP protocols.
Each TCP/IP training course module incorporates extensive hands-on practical sessions, working with TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows operating systems, UNIX and IP routers. Delegates also perform in-depth network protocol analysis, and work with widely-available third-party diagnostic utilities.
The TCP/IP course also provides relevant introductions to four new and significant areas in IP networking:
- Voice over IP
- IPv6
- IP QoS
- IP security
- Mobile IP
Who should attend TCP/IP training?
Everyone needing a comprehensive coverage of TCP/IP protocols, particularly IT professionals responsible for supporting modern TCP/IP-based networks.
TCP/IP course pre-requisites
Delegates will have worked with a Microsoft Windows operating system, Linux or UNIX, and should have a good understanding of Ethernet, LAN hardware, and an appreciation of the OSI seven layer model.
