Prerequisites
Prior completion of the OV230-WIN course
is recommended, but not required.
Description
This introductory networking course will provide students with an understanding
of general networking concepts, as well as Ovation®-specific network
configurations for Fast Ethernet systems. Students will learn the basic networking
skills required for general network administration and troubleshooting. Students
will also be provided with hands-on knowledge of switch and router configuration
for use in Ovation systems. This course is intended for Ovation network
administrators, Ovation system administrators, and those wishing to
complete the Ovation Certification Program.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, using the reference material provided,
the student will be able to:
Explore basic networking concepts including the OSI
reference model, MAC addressing, TCP/IP, IP addressing,
multicast addressing and local area networks
Implement an Ovation-specific network addressing
scheme and network topology
Define and explore basic network commands
Define network devices and media, and their relation
to the OSI reference model
Configure Cisco 2600 series routers, Cisco 3550 series
switches, and Cisco 2950 series switches for use in an
Ovation network (where applicable)
Configure and implement SNMP for Ovation
Troubleshoot inter-networked systems with network tools
and software
Configure and apply third-party networking software
