Lesson Descriptions

Lesson 1: Networking a Structured Approach

This lesson introduces the frameworks used to understand network communications. The OSI and DoD models are explained, followed by a deep dive into each layer of the OSI model.

Lesson 2: Network Components

Networks begin with switches and routers, but are quickly enhanced with the use of wireless networking, load distribution, security devices, and many more components. We discuss foundational concepts behind the most common network components.

Lesson 3: Network Topologies

Whether you're involved with a fresh new greenfield deployment or you'll be coming into an existing infrastructure brownfield, you will need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of common network designs. This lesson teaches both physical wiring topologies as well as logical and on-demand networks.

Lesson 4: Network Services

Most of us rely upon networks to access remote services. In this lesson, we explore many common communication protocols and application protocols. Beginning with the raw components of TCP/IP, we journey into the communications occurring at higher levels of the OSI model.

Lesson 5: WAN Technologies

The Wide Area Network is ultimately responsible for providing long distance communications. In this module, we explore technologies leveraged by service providers, which enable wide area connectivity.

Lesson 6: Network Cabling and Connectors

If it's not a wireless connection, we need to have the proper cabling and adapter. In Lesson 6, we explore the advantages and disadvantages of cabling types and discuss the types of connections and tools required for cabling.

Lesson 7: Ethernet Switch Operations

Switching is one of the most important topics we cover. In this section, we discuss traditional switching operations including loop prevention mechanisms. After building a basic foundation, we explore advanced tuning options that you might be able to perform to enhance the speed of your network.

Lesson 8: Wireless LAN

Wireless networking has become ubiquitous in the current age. Wireless devices are used to extend the edge to user devices as well as perform bridging between separate physical locations. Lesson 8 discusses wireless communication standards, antenna types, security implementations, and more.

Lesson 9: Network Addressing

An IP address doesn't mean much without a subnet mask. In this lesson, we discover the importance of the subnet mask. After gaining an understanding of how subnet masks function, we discuss how to create custom subnets to enhance security, improve performance, and aid in administrative needs.

Lesson 10: IP Version 6 Networks

IPv6 was created to be the successor of IPv4. Over the last 20 years, it has slowly become more prevalent in our lives, most commonly experienced today in cellular networks. In this lesson, you learn how IPv6 addressing works, how the protocol header is a bit different than in IPv4, and the new roles ICMPv6 will serve. Microsoft Windows has built-in support for IPv6 tunneling. We discuss tunneling implementations as well as IPv6 security.

Lesson 11: IP Routing

Packets are forwarded based on their destination IP addresses. This forwarding, called routing, is made possible through both static and dynamic information. Lesson 11 explores Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), as well as Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP). Additionally, we begin with a discussion on gateway redundancy.

Lesson 12: Unified Communications Fundamentals

Today, more than ever, IP networks are being used for real-time collaboration. Modern networks are expected to provide a quality user experience in regards to voice and video applications. In this lesson, we discuss the control mechanisms available to administrators for optimizing network performance.

Lesson 13: Virtualization Fundamentals

The point of demarcation as a network administrator has historically been a port to which the server attaches. However, with the rapid adoption of virtualization networks, engineers are now required to understand what happens to network within a virtualized environment. We begin by taking a look at virtualization technologies,and then dive into the networking aspects of virtualized environments.

Lesson 14: Network Security

With profit-driven cyber attacks on the rise, it's imperative that network engineers understand security controls that can be used to protect network infrastructure. This lesson introduces offensive techniques used by attackers, as well as defensive countermeasures that can be deployed by administrators. Additionally, we discuss the advantages of centralized authentication, as well the protocols and technologies that make it possible.

Lesson 15: Network Maintenance

Building upon the theory introduced in previous lessons, Lesson 15 focuses on protocols, tasks, and best practices that network administrators are likely to leverage on a typical day. From planning to administering to the logging that happens continuously thereafter, the topics in this lesson should serve you for many years to come.

Lesson 16: Network Troubleshooting

If our network is designed with resiliency and performance in mind, we should not have problems. However, sometimes we do, and sometimes other people blame the network when an application is to blame. Lesson 16 focuses on tools that can be used in common operating systems to troubleshoot network issues. Additionally we discuss error codes and interface counters, and then learn some of the telltale signs of network misconfiguration.

Lesson 17: Test Preparation

This final lesson includes study tips, test preparation suggestions, some of my exam experiences, and recommendations for what's next after the exam.
