Networking Masterclass

Networking Masterclass

This comprehensive course, including IP and IP addressing, ethernet, routers and routing, allows delegates to understand the issues involved in integrating CCTV and data networks. The course can help IT or data network managers determine suitable system design.

The Masterclass has been introduced to help all those working in a technical capacity in security related fields to ‘come to grips' with the complexities of networking.

Course Content:

• Designing a system using sub-networks
• Understanding virtual private networks (VPNs)
• Network address translations explained
• How packets, frames and data overheads are structured
• CBR (Constant bit rate)
• VBR (Variable bit rate)
• Working with virtual LANs
• Practical calculations using routers and routing tables
• RIP technology explained
• OSPF technology explained
• Ports
• Port numbering techniques
• Internet security
• Firewalls
• Graphical user interface (GUI)
• Command line interface (CLI)
• IP protocols and their operational status
• Intranets
• Extranets
• Quality of service
• Health and safety issues of IP and networks.
