Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on look at TCP/IP. Coverage includes the latest TCP/IP stack implementations, as well as SNMP and IPv6. Practical skills are learned with extensive hands-on projects, in-depth case projects, and review questions.

Course Objectives

·         Describe IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes, features, and capacities

·         Compare characteristics, such as network protocols and services, of the TCP/IP model

·         Evaluate the role the Simple Network Management Protocol plays in an IP-based network such as 6to4 technology in IPv6 deployment, transitioning, and tunneling

·         Analyze packet and network traffic using a network protocol analyzer tool

·         Evaluate the IPv6 protocols such as Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6), Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD), and Neighbor Discovery in relationship to layers and services such as DNS, DHCP and routing

·         Diagnose IP security vulnerabilities

·         Evaluate protection methods for IP security vulnerabilities
