Networks course in collaboration with IFOA
Computer Networks
The computer networks course for IFOA aims to give the basic knowledge needed to intervene in a simple network such as home or SOHO customer networks
The goal is to be able to install new locations, understand cabling technologies and what types of cables to use
Usually during the course, there are two practical tests of installing an Ethernet wired network and a Wi-Fi network, as well as a short test
During the course we will cover the following topics:
- Introduction and historical background
- Network typologies and characteristics
- Network types: from point-to-point to Mesh, merits and point of failure
- Hints to ISO/OSI and layers
- Hubs, Bridges, collision domains and Mac address
- Router
- Transmission media: twisted pair, coaxial, fiber, space and wireless
- The Ethernet cable: Types, classes
- Network scaling and connectivity
- Network boards and drivers
- Wiring test
- TCP operation and ping test
- Exercise group networks in the classroom
- The Wireless channels and security
- Wifi network configuration test
- Ports and the "well known ports."
