The Internetworking with TCP/IP course is the technician’s guide to understanding the processes, protocols and architectures associated with TCP/IP, the engine that runs the IP network. Geared toward anyone whose network accesses the Internet, the course introduces networking protocols, including transmission control protocol (TCP), hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), file transfer protocol (FTP), network management protocols, email protocols and many others. The course also describes IP address classes and subnets, and how subnets are used to efficiently use IP addresses. Advanced routing protocols and the software packages that implement them are also described. After completing this course, the technician will understand how the different TCP/IP protocols are used to provide voice, video and data-related services in the broadband cable network and customer premises.

Completion Time:

The estimated completion time for this course is 16 hours. The maximum allotted time is four months from enrollment.

Benefits:

• understand how to test and troubleshoot IP-based communications systems
• effectively design and implement systems to support email, file tranfers, network management, web access and other TCP/IP services
• successfully support voice, video and data services in IP networks
• receive an industry-recognized NCTI certificate of graduation
• use this course to help prepare for SCTE’s Broadband Telecom Center Specialist Certification

Upon completing this course, students will be able to:

1. recognize TCP/IP layers, components and functions and map them to the open systems interconnection (OSI) model
2. describe and implement TCP/IP application services that support email, network management, web access and file transport across routed IP networks
3. explain TCP/IP protocols used to transport data over intranets, extranets and the Internet
4. identify and use Internet navigation and search tools such as web browsers and HTTP as well as file transfer services such as FTP and trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP)
5. design and implement subnetworks
6. choose a routing protocol based on network size and service requirements, including quality of service/type of service (QoS/ToS) routing, variable-length subnet mask (VLSM) and link redundancy
7. describe TCP/IP support services, including Domain Name System (DNS) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
8. use TCP/IP utilities to troubleshoot and isolate Internetwork communication failures
9. explain how TCP/IP supports converged voice and data networks
