IP Training 1

[MBH]

Does NORTEL Networks offer any general courses on IP amd IP Networks?

 

[jfk]

Yes, they do. The course number is AV0025000. They also offer training in a wide variety of more detailed technologies.<br>
====================================================<br>
Course Description <br>
Internetworking Fundamentals provides a clear understanding of internetworking technologies and how internetworks are<br>
implemented. This course will provide a knowledge foundation for the student who does not have prior experience with<br>
internetworking. Students will learn the concepts, terminology and the components of an internetwork in depth and<br>
analyze actual data packets as they transit the network while relating the addressing information to the OSI model. The<br>
student will design and build two LANs, and as the course progresses will interconnect the two LANs using a bridge and<br>
then a router. <br>
<br>
Intended Audience <br>
This course is intended for anyone wishing to learn the basic concepts of internetworking.<br>
<br>
Prerequisites <br>
<br>
The student attending this course should have a basic knowledge of Windows95 screen navigation. <br>
<br>
Key Topics <br>
<br>
Internetworking Overview <br>
Networking Standards and the OSI Model <br>
Network Components <br>
Local Area Networks <br>
Wide Area Networks <br>
TCP/IP <br>
Internetworking <br>
Network Management and Planning <br>
Emerging Technologies <br>
<br>
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: <br>
<br>
compare and contrast the functionality of basic network types that comprise today's internetworks <br>
given a standard body, identify a protocol specification and relate that protocol function to the OSI model <br>
cite examples of how digital and analog data are formatted and which types of signaling methods corresponds to<br>
each <br>
describe two error detection and error recovery methodologies <br>
determine basic requirements of LANs and WANs <br>
verify network connectivity using the PING command and generate IP traffic by transferring a file from one node<br>
to another using File Transfer Protocol <br>
describe the major functions of repeaters, hubs, bridges, routers, switches, access devices, firewalls, and cite<br>
examples of where they would be used <br>
list and define at least five criteria involved with network planning and management <br>
describe the major features and functions of layer 2/3 switches <br>
list the benefits of using Gigabit Ethernet<br>

JFK,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
<br>
Do you have any general descriptions on what Policy Management is?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

 

[jfk]

Policy management enables the enforcement of a set of rules (or policies) which dictate access rights and the use of resources based on the established profile of the application, user, and group, to meet an established business objective.<br>
<br>
Policy management is focused on three elements: provisioning, enforcement, and verification of the policies. Generally, you'll see applications that involve QoS (Quality of Service) and security.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
