Fundamentals
Network+
is a vendor neutral certification sponsored by CompTIA. It
measures the technical knowledge of networking professionals
with nine months experience in the IT industry.
What are some of
the benefits of Network+ certification?
- Network+
has been accepted by many networking vendors and can be
found as an acceptable pre-requisite to many well-known
certification programs.
- You will
have the skills necessary to enter and advance in the expanding
field of networking.
- You will
have a solid skill-set foundation for successful entry into
future high-level IT training programs.

Media and Topologies
This course will allow students to:
- recognize logical or physical network topologies given a
schematic diagram or description;
- specify the main features of 802.2 (LLC), 802.3
(Ethernet), 802.5 (token ring), 802.11b (wireless) and
FDDI networking technologies as well as specify the
characteristics (e.g., speed, length, topology, cable
type, etc.) of various networking standards;
- recognize various media connectors and/or describe their
uses; choose the appropriate media type and connectors to
add a client to an existing network; and
- identify the purpose, features, and functions of the
various network components. 8 hrs. $299
Protocols and Standards
This course will allow students to given an
example/identify a MAC address; identify the seven layers of
the OSI model and their functions; differentiate between the
various network protocols in terms of routing, addressing
schemes, interoperability and naming conventions; identify the
OSI layers at which Hubs, Switches, Bridges, Routers and
Network Interface Cards operate; define the purpose, function
and/or use of the various protocols within TCP/IP; define the
function of TCP/UDP ports. Identify well-known ports; identify
the purpose of the following network services (e.g. DHCP/bootp,
DNS, NAT/ICS, WINS, and SNMP); identify IP addresses (Ipv4,
Ipv6) and their default subnet masks; identify the purpose of
subnetting and default gateways; identify the differences
between public vs. private networks; identify the basic
characteristics (e.g., speed, capacity, media) of the various
WAN technologies; define the function RAS, PPP, PPTP and ICA
remote access protocols and services; and identify IPsec ,
L2TP, SSL, Kerberos , security protocols and describe their
purpose and function. 12 hrs. $399
Network Implementation
This course will allow students to
- identify the basic capabilities (i.e. client support,
interoperability, authentication, file and print services,
application support, and security) of various server
operating systems;
- identify the basic capabilities of client workstations
(i.e., client connectivity, local security mechanisms, and
authentication); identify the main characteristics of
VLANs;
- identify the main characteristics of network attached
storage;
- identify the purpose and characteristics of fault
tolerance;
- identify the purpose and characteristics of disaster
recovery; given a remote connectivity scenario (e.g., IP,
IPX, dial-up, PPPoE, authentication, physical connectivity
etc.), configure the connection;
- identify the purpose, benefits and characteristics of
using a firewall;
- identify the purpose, benefits and characteristics of
using a proxy;
- given a scenario, predict the impact of a particular
security implementation on network functionality (e.g.
blocking port numbers, encryption, etc.); and
- given a network configuration, select the appropriate
NIC and network configuration settings (DHCP, DNS, WINS,
protocols, NETBIOS/host name, etc.). 16 hrs. $525
Network Support
This course will prepare students based on various network
topology, wiring, connectivity problem scenarios to select an
appropriate course of action based on a general
troubleshooting strategy; and train students to utilize
various networking diagnostics utilities and tools to assist
with the resolution of the problems. 8 hrs. $299 |
