Description
This course is intended to provide a complete overview of computer networking. From the fundamentals of modern networking technologies and protocols to an overview of the cloud to practical applications and network troubleshooting, we'll cover it all.
You will be able to do the following by the end of this course:
- describe computer networks using a five-layer model
- understand all of the standard protocols used in TCP/IP communications
- learn how to use effective network troubleshooting tools and techniques
- Learn about network services such as DNS and DHCP, which aid in the operation of computer networks.
- Become familiar with cloud computing, everything as a service, and cloud storage.
