b. Grasp the importance of protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and DNS
in communication over the internet.
2. Master IP Addressing
and Subnetting:
a. Understand IP addressing (IPv4 and IPv6), subnet masks, and how
to create efficient subnetworks.
b. Learn how to plan and implement subnetting in large networks
for optimal performance.
3. Work with Routing and
Switching:
a. Configure and manage routers and switches to control the flow
of data in a network.
b. Understand routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, and BGP to
direct network traffic.
c. Learn switching concepts, VLANs, and STP (Spanning Tree
Protocol) to manage data flow within a local network.
4. Implement Wireless
Networks:
a. Design and deploy wireless networks (WLANs), understand Wi-Fi
standards, and configure access points.
b. Learn about wireless security and troubleshooting common issues
in wireless networking.
5. Ensure Network
Security:
a. Implement basic network security measures, including firewall
configuration, VPNs (Virtual
Private Networks), and
encryption protocols.
c. Learn about threat prevention, detection, and mitigation
strategies to secure networks from cyberattacks.
6. Troubleshoot Network
Issues:
a. Diagnose and resolve common network problems using
troubleshooting tools and techniques such as ping, traceroute, and Wireshark.
b. Gain insights into solving network connectivity issues and
performance bottlenecks.
7. Understand WAN and
Cloud Networking:
a. Explore wide area networking (WAN) concepts, MPLS, and VPN
technologies for connecting multiple networks over long distances.
b. Learn about cloud-based networking, SD-WAN, and how modern
organizations integrate cloud services with traditional networks.
8. Build a Professional
Networking Portfolio:
a. Complete real-world networking projects, such as designing and
configuring a small office/home office (SOHO) network.
b. Compile network architecture diagrams, documentation, and
configuration files into a professional portfolio to showcase your skills.
