Course Overview

TCP/IP has been deployed on virtually every type of hardware and software platform available today and forms the backbone of the Internet. As a result, this popular protocol suite has become the standard for building multivendor intranets and internets.

This course provides a comprehensive technical introduction to TCP/IP. Extensive hands-on exercises provide the practical experience needed to configure a host, employ TCP/IP tools, use application services, and access TCP/IP-based internetworks.

Audience

This course is valuable for anyone working with TCP/IP protocols or involved in developing or migrating to TCP/IP networks or accessing Internet services. Familiarity with local area network concepts and either Windows or UNIX is assumed.

Skills Gained

  • Configure hosts and access internetworks using TCP/IP protocols
  • Identify the role of each TCP/IP component
  • Use all major TCP/IP application services, including: FTP, TELNET, HTTP and NFS
  • Avoid common internetworking problems
  • Troubleshoot TCP/IP networks using protocol analysis techniques
  • Employ popular Internet/intranet tools: FTP, Web browsers, WWW and others

Course Outline

Introduction and Overview

Introducing TCP/IP networks

  • What TCP/IP provides: key application services and multivendor capabilities
  • TCP/IP and the Internet
  • How Internet RFCs and STDs affect TCP/IP

Introducing TCP/IP protocol architecture

  • Protocol layering concepts
  • TCP/IP layering
  • Components of TCP/IP networks

The Internet Protocol (IP)

Internet Layer functions

  • Fundamental internetworking concepts
  • Connecting networks
  • Providing Physical Layer independence
  • Internet addressing: IP address classes A, B, C, D, E

Address resolution

  • Resolving MAC addresses with ARP
  • Avoiding duplicate IP addresses with RARP, BOOTP and DHCP

IP address resolution

  • Building your own IP network
  • NIC-registered addresses
  • Using private IP addresses: application proxy firewalls
  • IPv6

IP on different physical networks

  • IP on non-Ethernet LANs: SNAP and LLC
  • Using IP on WANs
  • IP on ATM
  • IP on DSL

Internetworking with IP Routers

Implementing routed networks

  • The role of the IP router
  • Common IP routing protocols: RIP, OSPF
  • Troubleshooting router problems

Going beyond the intranet

  • Subdividing IP networks (subnetting)
  • Control messages on IP networks: ICMP
  • Subnetting and supernetting calculation formulas
  • Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
  • Network Address Translation (NAT)

Transport and Protocols: TCP and UDP

Transport Layer fundamentals

  • The role of the transport protocol
  • Reliable vs. best-effort services

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

  • Providing a reliable data delivery with TCP
  • Associating remote applications using port numbers and process addressing
  • TCP packet structure and troubleshooting
  • TCP performance issues

The User Datagram Protocol

  • Connectionless protocol operation
  • Providing reliability at the Application Layer

Applications and Management Protocols

Functions and operation of application protocols

  • File transfer protocols: FTP, TFTP
  • Network Virtual Terminal (TELNET)
  • Employing DNS BIND
  • SMTP, the basis of Internet mail
  • Utilising workstation mail: POP3, IMAP4
  • Examining the mechanisms of VoIP

Vendor implementations

  • Sharing files with NFS
  • NFS protocols: RPC, XDR, others
  • TCP/IP for Windows Server 2003/NT and XP and UNIX

Managing TCP/IP networks

  • SNMP management paradigm
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
  • The management database: MIB
  • SNMP evolution: MIB I and II, RMON, SNMPv2, SNMPv3

Exploring Internet Services

Internet service access methods

  • Permanent direct connection
  • Building virtual private networks (VPNs) with PPP

Internet service tools

  • Retrieving files using Anonymous FTP
  • Using World Wide Web (WWW) tools
