Module 1 - Network Infrastructure - CEV000282
This is an entry level module for anyone who has a need to understand how devices can communicate over a network. This can be from a simple connection between two machines in a wired network to a global network of thousands of devices. This training is based on the IoT (Internet of Things) principles and general network connectivity. Here are some of the things you will learn if you attend this 2-day classroom training module.
This course is not training for any specific Microsoft Exam
This module will equip delegates with the knowledge to: -
- Understand IP Addressing and how to create networks and sub networks.
- Understand the command line tools used to display and change basic network connectivity functions.
- Know the function and use of network infrastructure, EX, Switch and Router.
- Describe DHCP and it functions.
- Describe the use of DNS in a wide area network.
- Try some tools for analysing error logs and network traffic.
What is a "Server"?
You will have the knowledge to explain the concept of a server and the difference between a software server and the server hardware. Discuss the following common servers.
