Overview
TCP/IP is the globally accepted group of protocols at the core of the Internet and organizational intranets. A solid understanding of each of these protocols and how they work will give you the ability to deploy the most effective network for your organization in three key areas:
- Efficiency: You will be able to run a more efficient network through proper implementation of subnetting and understanding how different protocols and applications impact network performance.
- Dependability: You will reduce downtime in the event of a network failure as you will be better equipped to quickly identify and resolve problems as they occur. You will also be able to solve problems in-house rather than incurring the extra costs and time required to hire a consultant.
- Future growth: Proper planning will ensure that your network can accommodate growth, including the implementation of more robust network technologies, such as IPv6.
In this course, you will gain the essential knowledge and skills required to set up, configure, support, and troubleshoot your TCP/IP-based network. Our expert instructors and extensive hands-on labs will prepare you to face and overcome the challenges of today's complex networks. This coursethe longest running of its kind in the industryalso prepares you for more specialized courses in network security, wireless integration, and Voice over IP (VoIP) as well as for product-specific training such as Cisco, Avaya, and Microsoft.

Reviews
Exit certified was great as it is very in depth and hands on learning which made it very easy to learn this type of work.
The instructor was thorough and they also provided hands-on demonstrations with labs.
Good training. A lot to take in for the short amount of time we have though
ExitCertified was a great. They gave me all the materials and information I needed ahead of time to prepare for the course.
the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
