The success of a modern business today depends directly on how well information technology is integrated into it. For example, a computer network is very important for both offices and manufacturing companies. It can consist of individual PCs, server, security system and routers. To cope with such a large “organism”, a specialist needs special knowledge.

“Building networks” – a course for professionals involved in the field of setting up and maintaining local networks. The training program will be of interest to engineers, administrators, IT specialists, information security specialists.

The program consists of 12 thematic modules with a total duration of 40 academic hours. There is no strict training schedule, and therefore your wishes will be taken into account when scheduling the program. If necessary, you can agree to postpone the training to another day.

Module 1: Familiarization with TCP/IP protocol.
The first lesson is familiarization. The teacher will tell you how TCP/IP protocol and OSI model work. You will learn what is the advantage of this type for small and medium-sized networks. Special attention will be paid to the TCP/IP architecture.

Module 2. How traffic analyzers (sniffers) are used
What is a traffic analyzer. Review of popular variants.
Familiarization with WireShark and MS NetworkMonitor network analysis tools. Using the programs at a practical training session.
How traffic analyzers are used by example.

Module 3. How an IP address works: functions and types
In order to keep your enterprise network from failing, all devices on the network must have a unique IP address. In this session, you will learn about the different types of addresses, their purpose, and the causes and consequences of duplication.

Module 4. How Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) works
DHCP technology is widely used in TCP/IP networks. It allows you to automatically allocate IP between devices, which simplifies the work of the system administrator. Without knowledge of this technology, it would take more time to create and configure an enterprise-wide network.

Module 5. Routing: how information transmission paths are established between individual network devices
The practical part is devoted to setting up routing in different operating systems. Special attention is paid to the interaction of remote branches of one organization, each of which has its own local network.

Module 6. Specifics of using different name resolutions in a network
Besides IP-addresses different name resolutions are used to identify computers and other nodes. There are 2 modules devoted to this topic, as the information is important when working as a system administrator.

Module 7. Working with name resolution in DNS
When working with domain name system servers, names are used to transfer information between nodes, which are later converted to IP addresses.

Module 8. Dynamic routing in medium and small networks
How different dynamic routing protocols work.
The RIP device. How to configure Routing Information Protocol on a router.
In the practical session, you will use the protocol you have familiarized yourself with and test it.

Module 9. What tools and programs are used to manage a network
What difficulties an administrator may encounter when working with network devices.
What the MIB database is for.
SNMP protocol overview. Installation and configuration for operation.
Practice will consist of using the SNMP protocol.

Module 10. Overview of the new protocol IP version 6
What are the features of the IPv6 protocol.
What are the types of addresses in the new protocol.
How the IP version 6 architecture is organized.
Whether it is possible to use IP of different versions in one network. Combining IPv6 and IPv4.
How IPv6 is configured. Practical work on configuration.
What problems an IPv6 operator may encounter.

Module 11. Peculiarities of mail and file servers. HTTP protocol and Internet servers
This module is devoted to working with server equipment of different types. In practice you will learn how to install and configure them to perform the tasks assigned to them.

Module 12. How to detect network problems. Troubleshooting problems
How the network is monitored.
Common problems in the interaction of individual nodes.
How to recognize the source of problems in the network infrastructure.
What tools are used to troubleshoot network problems.
