Networking Fundamentals Training Course
MTA Networking Fundamentals Certification
This Networking Fundamentals course and hands-on training equip candidates with fundamental networking knowledge and skills.
The Networking Fundamentals course is structured in such a way that one is able to learn the basic concepts of networking and implement them in the labs.
Some of the concepts covered during the Networking Fundamentals course include understanding the Network Infrastructure, internet, intranet, and extranet, Virtual Private Networks (VPN), security zones, firewalls, local area networks (LANs), perimeter networks, VLANs, wired LAN and wireless LAN.
After the Networking Fundamentals course, students will be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of protocols and services, Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) model, Subnetting, IPconfig, why use Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), addressing, ipv4toipv6 tunnelling protocols to ensure backward compatibility, dual IP stack, subnet mask, gateway, ports, packets, reserved address ranges for local use (including local loopback IP), DNS, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), and steps in the name resolution process.
There is no certification exam associated with this training course.
