Course outline

This 5-day CompTIA Network + training course will teach you the fundamental principles of installing, configuring, and troubleshooting network technologies and help you to progress in a network administration career. It will prepare you to take the CompTIA Network+ N10- 007 exam by providing complete coverage of the objectives and content examples listed on the syllabus. Study of the course can also help to prepare you for vendor-specific technical support qualifications and act as groundwork for more advanced training.

Audience

CompTIA Network+ is the first certification IT professionals specializing in network administration and support should earn. Network+ is aimed at IT professionals with job roles such as network administrator, network technician, network installer, help desk technician and IT cable installer.

Prerequisites

To get started with this course, you should have successfully completed CompTIA A+ certification or have around 9-12 months' experience of IT administration. It is not necessary that you pass the A+ exams before completing Network+ certification, but it is recommended.
Regardless of whether you have passed A+, it is recommended that you have the following skills and knowledge before starting this course:
  • Configure and support PC, laptop, mobile (smartphone or tablet), and print devices.
  • Know basic network terminology and functions (such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, switches, routers).
  • Configure and manage users, groups and shared resources in a simple SOHO network.
  • Understand the use of basic access control measures, such as authentication, security policy, encryption, and firewalls.

Objectives

On course completion, you will be able to:
  • Describe the features of different network protocols and products for LANs, WANs, and wireless networks.
  • Understand the functions and features of TCP/IP addressing and protocols.
  • Identify threats to network security and appropriate countermeasures and controls.
  • Install and configure network cabling and appliances.
  • Manage, monitor, and troubleshoot networks.
This course is divided into five modules, each covering a different subject area:
  • Module 1 Local Area Networks
  • Module 2 IP Addressing
