Network Fundamentals
Network Fundamentals is a one day course, taught by SFL Academy’s training team. The course aims to take participants from a basic level of network knowledge, and expose them to a broad cross-section of knowledge around the design and configuration of networks.
The course is taught by AV industry professionals, and many of the examples on the course will be in this context. However, the course will cover general IT networking as well, and the knowledge gained will be useful in both contexts.
The course covers:
- OSI Layer Model and 802.xx Standards
- Physical network infrastructure
- Network Switches – Selection, Usage and Configuration
- IP Addresses, Subnet Masks, and schemes of IP Addressing in a network
- VLANs, WLANs, and Routers
- Wi-Fi standards and best practice
- Network Services – DHCP, DNS, NAT, IGMP, QoS etc
- Practical configuration and implementation of network designs
A basic level of knowledge around networking is desired, although beginners have successfully completed the course before. It’s not required to bring a laptop, though participants may find this helpful for note-taking and reference.
