Introduction

NOTE

This course examines the physical layer in depth, topologies at the data link layer, and basic routing at the network layer. It delves deeply into static and dynamic IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and address resolution. It then examines the components and functionality of Cisco switches and routers. The course provides an introduction to troubleshooting methodologies and examines how to troubleshoot some of the most common networking issues. Finally the course ends with an overview of how to provide customer support.

Upon completion of the Network Addressing and Basic Troubleshooting course, students will be able to perform the following tasks:

  • Explain how physical layer protocols, services, and network media support communications across data networks.
  • Explain how media access control in the data link layer supports communication across physical and logical networks.
  • Explain how routers use network layer protocols and services to enable end-to-end connectivity.
  • Calculate an IPv4 subnetting scheme to efficiently segment a network.
  • Implement an IPv6 addressing scheme.
  • Explain how Neighbor Discovery enables communication on a network.
  • Describe Cisco routers and switches.
  • Troubleshoot basic network connectivity issues.
