Basic Networking and IP Routing
Microwave radio IP/MPLS networking
Overview
Building a strong foundation of basic networking, switching and routing concepts is key to a successful career in the converged microwave and IP routing technology space. Aviat customers who have expertise in microwave and RF technology now have a course that can get them up to speed on IP technologies.
The Basic Networking and IP Routing course provides foundational knowledge using pre-requisite Elearning modules recommended before attending this course. This instructor-led course will take the student step-by-step through basics of networking, explaining functions of hubs, switches, routers and related protocols and standards. Students will be able to engage in performing basic networking configuration and troubleshooting tasks with a new level of confidence.
The course covers fundamental concepts in the Ethernet/IP space such as IP addressing, sub-netting, VLANs, switching and routing. Additionally, static routing and dynamic routing protocols commonly used in TCP/IP networking environments such as RIP and OSPF will be covered.
Detailed hands-on scenarios on how to configure and troubleshoot switching and routing platforms for each of the protocols will be part of the curriculum. Extensive hands-on labs (nearly 60-70% of the course duration) offer students with scenarios they will face in real deployments in their networks.
Courses are conducted by AVIAT expert trainers in a mentoring environment backed by their deep technology expertise and experience in implementation of microwave wireless and IP networks.
The Basic Networking and IP Routing course is conducted at Aviat Training locations or can be arranged at customer sites.
Upon successfully completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand basic networking concepts involved in Ethernet networks, VLANs in a switching environment.
- Configure static routing, dynamic routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF.
- Install, configure and troubleshoot switching and routing networking environments.
- Learn how to leverage the Aviat support site and knowledge base for ongoing help.
- Students must demonstrate prior completion of the recommended Elearning before attending this course. An attendance record from the prescribed Elearning courses such as the certification of completion will be requested during the registration process.
- Participants must have an understanding of the binary and hexadecimal numbering systems and have basic computer skills. Additional recommendations for reading on these topics can be provided on request.
- Each student must bring an IBM compatible laptop PC or an equivalent and have administrator rights on the PC. The PC must have minimum parameters of:
- Pentium 4 or later w/ 2GB of RAM and 250 Mb of free hard drive space
- USB Port
- USB to Serial adaptor (if no serial port on the PC)
- Ethernet 10Base-T LAN port with RJ-45 connector for local Ethernet connection
- 800×600 resolution, 256 color display (16-bit color)
- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7
- TCP/IP installed and configured for LAN operation
- Web browser (Google Chrome recommended)
