Purpose
After completing this course, students will be able to describe the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol architecture; convert Internet Protocol (IP) addresses between decimal and binary; calculate a subnet mask; create subnets using Variable-Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR); configure a host to use a static IP address; assign IP addresses in a multiple subnet network; describe the IP routing process; configure a host to obtain an IP address automatically; configure a host so that automatic private IP address configuration is disabled; configure a host to use name servers; isolate common connectivity issues.
