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.
