Overview

Course Level: Intermediate with Advanced Topics Introduced

Information technology has become an integral part of the modern broadcast technical plant. IT knowledge and proficiency is essential for the broadcast engineer to survive and prosper in today's marketplace. Information technology spans a wide range of specializations; however IP Networking is the fundamental baseline technology essential to all areas of informational technology and the IT broadcast professional.

This full-day intensive class will focus on TCP/IP based networking fundamentals in an Ethernet environment. Topics covered will include understanding RFC's, TCP and UDP fundamentals, IP addressing, IPv4 subnetting, an introduction to IPv6, switching fundamentals, VLAN use, routing fundamentals, quality of services (QoS) Basics, and networking security concerns.

Emphasis will be placed upon understanding and applying IP subnetting techniques, understanding when to switch, and understanding when to route in an IP network. Where appropriate, the application focus and practical use cases will be oriented towards a broadcast technical plant. Theoretical principals will be reinforced through practical exercises, network use cases, and a design practical to close out the day.
