IP LANs, WANs and Network Services [Two Days]
Prerequisites: Basics of Data (Packet-Switched) Networks or comparable basic understanding of data technologies
Who should attend:
Any employee who needs to understand, sell, or support the applications, functions, systems, and workings of an IP-based Data Network
Description:
This course teaches the student the terms, "myths", realities, functions and applications of an IP-based network (e.g.: Internet, Intranet, and Extranet). Since data-networking professionals expect competency in their vendors, this course will teach the precise terms and architectures of data networking (and how they're used in sales and support activities). After learning IP Protocol Basics and how IP operates across a global network, the following sections will show IP's use in Local Area and Wide Area Networks. Supporting technologies (access, Frame Relay, and ATM) will be explained and different service features, such as Virtual Private Networks, will be highlighted.
