Practical TCP/IP Course

Course Description

The objective of this course is to provide delegates with a practical understanding of TCP/IP and the skills required to setup and use both DOS/Windows/NT and Unix based TCP/IP networks.

Course pre-requisites:

Delegates should have a good understanding of Local Area Network (LAN) concepts such as that provided by the PTR Introduction to Data Communications & Networking course.

Topics covered on the 2 day Practical TCP/IP course

Reference Models & LAN data-link concepts

  • OSI 7 layer model, TCP/IP 4 layer model
  • MAC addresses, frame types

Introduction to the Internet Protocol (IP)

  • Addresses, classes, networks and broadcasts. Naming (hosts and DNS)
  • Subnet masks (default, off-byte, tables). Frame positioning.
  • ARP (manipulating tables), RARP, ICMP (ping, traceroute), IGMP.

TCP/IP over serial networks and IP routing

  • SLIP, CSLIP, PPP (LCP, NCP, IPCP, unnumbered IP, PAP, CHAP)
  • Routing mechanics. Static configurations, interior (RIP, RIP2, OSPF), exterior (EGP, BGP). Reducing WAN traffic (increase update period, snapshot, piggyback mechanisms)

Introduction to the transport layer

  • TCP and UDP. Connection, reliability, ports, sliding windows

TCP/IP and UDP/IP applications

  • Telnet (telnetd), FTP (ftpd, protocols, applications, anonymous)
  • SMTP and POP3 (daemons, applications, uuencode, MIME, binhex)
  • TFTP, Finger, BootP, DHCP, SNMP, NFS(RPC, XDR), DNS

Microsoft networking with TCP/IP

  • MS networking protocols (NetBIOS, SMB)
  • Operating system support
  • Workgroups and domains
  • NetBIOS naming with TCP/IP
