This course is intended for
This course is intended for entry-level computer support professionals with a
basic knowledge of computer hardware, software, and operating systems who wish
to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and acquire
the required skills to prepare for a career in network support or
administration, or who wish to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ certification.
CompTIA Network+ is the first certification IT professionals specializing in
network administration and support should earn. Network+ is aimed at IT
professionals with job roles such as network administrator, network technician,
network installer, help desk technician, and IT cable installer. This course is
also designed for students who are seeking the CompTIA Network+ certification
and who want to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Exam.
Overview
In this course, you will describe the major networking technologies and systems
of modern networks and configure, manage, and troubleshoot modern networks.
Explain the OSI and TCP/IP Models. Explain properties of network traffic.
Install and configure switched networks. Configure IP networks. Install and
configure routed networks. Configure and monitor ports and protocols. Explain
network application and storage issues. Monitor and troubleshoot networks.
Explain network attacks and mitigations. Install and configure security devices.
Explain authentication and access controls. Deploy and troubleshoot cabling
solutions. Implement and troubleshoot wireless technologies. Compare and
contrast WAN technologies. Use remote access methods. Identify site policies and
best practices.
CompTIA's Network+ certification is a foundation-level certification designed
for IT professionals with around one year of experience, whose job role is
focused on network administration.
The CompTIA Network+ exam will certify the successful candidate has the
knowledge and skills required to troubleshoot, configure, and manage common
network devices; establish basic network connectivity; understand and maintain
network documentation; identify network limitations and weaknesses; and
implement network security, standards, and protocols. The candidate will have a
basic understanding of enterprise technologies, including cloud and
virtualization technologies.
The Official CompTIA© Network+© (Exam N10-008): will teach you the fundamental
principles of installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network technologies
and help you to progress a career in network administration. In this course, you
will build on your existing user-level knowledge and experience with personal
computer operating systems and networks to master the fundamental skills and
concepts that you will need to use on the job in any type of networking career.
