Practical TCP/IP, Troubleshooting and Problem DAY ONE DAY TWO continued
Solving for Industry is a practical 'hands-on' 3-day
workshop. The Internet has made a substantial INTRODUCTION CONFIGURING & TROUBLESHOOTING
impact on the way you do business and now is • Terms and definitions ETHERNET & TCP/IP
impacting on your business. One of the great • LANs, WANs, VLANs and VPNs To be covered during the practical sessions:
protocols that has been inherited from the Internet • Configuration
• Open Systems Interconnection, OSI and
is TCP/IP and this is being used as the standard
ARPA models • Use of TCP/IP and third party utilities
today for all network and communication systems.
• Use of protocol analyzers
The reasons for this popularity are not hard to find. ETHERNET
(Practical Session)
TCP/IP and Ethernet are truly open standards • Fundamentals
available to competing manufacturers and • 10Mbps Ethernet systems SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
providing the user with a common standard. In • Fast and Gigabit Ethernet • Essentials of satellites
addition, the cost of TCP/IP and Ethernet is low. • Collisions and performance • Challenges with TCP/IP
The workshop has been structured to cover the • Full duplex, deterministic and dual
TYING IT ALL TOGETHER
main areas of TCP/IP and Ethernet in detail, while redundant Ethernet
going through the practical implementation of • Current and future trends
(Practical Session)
TCP/IP in computer and industrial areas and • Critical areas of focus
practical use of the Internet and Intranets. INTERNET LAYER PROTOCOLS
Troubleshooting and maintenance of TCP/IP • IPV4
DAY THREE
networks and communication systems in an office - addressing
and industrial environment are also covered. You - subnetting VIRTUAL LANS (VLANS)
will also cover the important issues of Virtual - supernetting and CIDR • Introduction to VLANs
LANs (VLANs) and Virtual Private Networks - fragmentation
(VPNs). • VLAN Identification
- header structure • IEEE 802.1p/Q
You will then be able to apply the knowledge you - ARP • Configuring a Trunk Line
have gained in a day of practical fault finding. This - ICMP
workshop takes all the theory and practice learnt on • VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP)
- routing protocols • VTP Pruning
the first two days of the Practical TCP/IP and
Ethernet Networking workshop and with 15 • IPV6 • Managing Redundant Links
practical mini-sessions, exposes you to typical - addressing modes • Inter VLAN Routing
problems that could occur with TCP/IP networks - header structure
and shows you how to fix them. Most of this day - extension headers
SECURITY
comprises practical sessions with a modicum of • Fundamentals

will be emphasized. • TCP • Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Concept
A great way to round off the workshop...with hard - ports and sockets • IPSec Protocol
hitting practical sessions so that you can walk away - sequence and acknowledgement numbers • Key Management for IPSecs
with a well rounded understanding, both practical - establishing and closing connections • Designing VPN Solutions
and theoretical, of TCP/IP and Ethernet networks. - sliding windows • Remote Access VPNs
• UDP • Management of VPNs
(Practical Session)
VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPNS)
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES • Introduction to VPNs
