Class Description

Overview:

In this course students will identify and describe all the major networking technologies, systems, and skill in use in modern PC-based computer networks, and learn information to prepare for the CompTIA Network+ (2009 Objectives) cert exam (N10-004).

Who Should Attend:

This course is intended for entry-level computer support professionals with basic knowledge of computer hardware, software, and operating systems, who wish to increase their knowledge and understanding of networking concepts and skills to prepare for a career in network support or administration, or to prepare for the CompTIA Network+® (2009 Objectives) exam (exam number N10-004). A typical student in the CompTIA Network+® (2009 Objectives) course should have nine months or more of professional computer support experience as a PC technician or help desk technician. Network experience is helpful but not required; A+ certification or the equivalent skills and knowledge is helpful but not required.

At Course Completion:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: - identify the basic components of network theory. - identify the major network communications methods. - identify network data delivery methods. - list and describe network media and hardware components. - identify the major types of network implementations. - identify the components of a TCP/IP network implementation. - identify the major services deployed on TCP/IP networks. - identify the components of a LAN implementation. - identify the components of a WAN implementation. - identify major issues and technologies in network security. - identify the components of a remote network implementation. - identify major issues and technologies in disaster recovery. - identify major data storage technologies and implementations. - identify the primary network operating systems. - explore tools, methods, and techniques used in managing a network. - describe how to troubleshoot network issues.
