About the course
Build a practical understanding of networking, network security, and troubleshooting through a series of self-paced, hands-on labs.
The course covers core networking concepts including the OSI model, TCP/IP protocols, network types, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, remote access, and essential TCP/IP utilities.
Learners will gain practical experience configuring network services such as NAT and port redirection, implementing remote access, managing network infrastructure, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.
The course also introduces network security practices, including firewalls, closing unnecessary ports and services, and implementing security policies across Windows and Linux environments.
The course further explores business continuity and disaster recovery, wireless security concepts, and the analysis of security protocols such as WEP and WPA in controlled lab environments.
By completing the labs, learners will develop practical skills for configuring, securing, managing, and troubleshooting network environments, providing a strong foundation for further study in networking, systems administration, and cybersecurity.
