Advanced TCPIP

Overview

This is an in depth technical course that covers the TCPIP protocols in more detail than the Introduction to TCPIP course. It will provide information on today's use of routers and the way they interact with host computers. It is an instructor led presentation and hands on exercises course using network equipment and routers.

This training may be available onsite; please contact us if you are interested.

Audience

Students should be familiar with MS Windows desktop and command line operations, they should also have an appreciation of the TCP/IP suit of protocols and protocol stacks, Ideally they will have attended the Introduction to TCP/IP course or have similar experience.

Skills Gained
