AUDIENCE:   Network technicians and managers, network administrators and anyone who will be involved in linking PC systems with an integrated TCP/IP network. PREREQUISITES:   Delegates should have a keen interest in networking and ideally a good understanding of the Windows 2003 Server Operating system. DURATION:   3 days. Hands on. OBJECTIVES:   The course will allow the delegate to identify and configure all major aspects of TCP/IP connectivity with Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Windows 2003 Server. On completion of the course the delegate will fully understand the theory of TCP/IP as well as basic network features and concepts, be able to configure SNMP, NetBIOS, DHCP server and clients and implement IP routing.
