Description :

Network Technology Foundations teaches essential networking technologies and skills, including TCP/IP, stable network creation, wireless networking and network troubleshooting. Students will learn to use various network components and protocols that enable users to share data quickly and easily. Students will explore the different types of transmission media, and will learn how network architecture and topologies provide for efficient and secure communication. In addition, students will learn about the OSI reference model and its relationship to packet creation, and students will compare and contrast the OSI model with the Internet architecture model.

Objectives :

Identify network components and major network operating systems.
Describe the packet creation process and explain the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
Compare and contrast the functions of network protocols, and describe network transmission media and types.
Identify network architectures and topologies, and describe the Internet architecture model and Internet protocols.
Explain the routing process, IP addressing, IP address classes, default subnet masks and the use of private IP addresses.
Use diagnostic tools for troubleshooting TCP/IP networks.
Identify and describe the functions and features of various internetworking server types.
Identify maintenance issues for common system components.
Describe the characteristics of file system types and use file system management tools.
Identify and suggest corrective measures for operating system boot problems and application failures, and identify methods to remotely manage workstations.
Identify essential network security concepts.
Explore career opportunities in the IT industry and discuss effective ways of communicating technical information to non-technical audiences.
