Study Guide

Objective

Student knows the basics of data communications and data communications networks. Student understands the principles of IP addresses, subnetworking and TCP/IP protocols. Students knows the OSI and TCP/IP structure and functions as well as the configuration of routers.

Content

Students will become familiar with data communications protocols and how they work. They will understand the principles of data transfer and data communications systems. They will also be familiar with the latest communications network and application solutions.

- Operation of Ethernet LAN technology.
- ARP protocol
- IP protocol
- IPv6 protocol
- TCP protocol
- UDP protocol
- ICMP protocol
- HTTP protocol
- DNS protocol
- DHCP protocol
- FTP protocol
- Telnet protocol
- SSH protocol

The operation of the protocols is studied by building a communication network with a simulator, where the communication can be studied and the operation of the protocols can be examined. Configuring routers is practiced.
