Course Content "Networking Basics," introduces OSI reference model "Network Hardware," introduces the physical building blocks of a local area network (LAN) "Network Connections," explains how to combine relatively small LANs into large enterprise networks using more complex hardware devices, such as bridges, routers, and switches. "Networking Software," covers the networking capabilities of the operating systems, client software, and directory services that run on the computers connected to a LAN. "Data-Link Layer Protocols," discusses protocols like Ethernet and Token Ring, which operate at the data-link layer of the OSI reference model "Network Layer Protocols," examines the protocols at the third layer of the OSI reference model, such as Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) "TCP/IP Fundamentals," provides an overview of the various protocols in the TCP/IP suite and some of the fundamental principles of TCP/IP communications, IP addressing and subnet masking. "TCP/IP Routing," discusses the process by which TCP/IP packets are routed through complex internetworks (such as the Internet) to their destinations. "TCP/IP Applications," lists some of the important services used by TCP/IP networks and the utilities that network administrators can use to maintain them. "TCP/IP Configuration," examines the process of configuring a TCP/IP client to participate on a network "Remote Network Access," covers the mechanisms that enable users to access a network from a remote location, including direct connections and virtual private networks (VPNs). "Network Security," discusses some of the basic security precautions used on most networks, such as password policies and firewalls. "Planning the Network," examines the network planning process that takes place before any hardware or software products are purchased or installed. "Installing a Network," provides the information you need to install both internal and external network cables and connect them to the computers, hubs, and other hardware components. "Network Maintenance," covers some of the most essential maintenance chores required by a professional network, such as the performance of regular backups, virus protection, and software upgrades.		"Network Troubleshooting Procedures," explains how to identify and recognize the various components you might find on a network and examines the logical progressions that the troubleshooting process takes on the way to finding a solution to a problem. "Network Troubleshooting Tools," describes some of the indicators that network administrators use to know when a problem exists, some of the hardware and software tools you can use to troubleshoot network problems, and some of the resources where you can find additional networking information. Benefits of Certification Passing the Network+ examination certifies you as possessing the basic knowledge and skills needed to work in the computer networking field. If you are interested in becoming a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), the Network+ Certification provides just the foundation you need to get on your way with confidence.With Network+ Certification, you will receive many benefits, including: Recognized proof of professional achievement: The Network+ credential asserts that the holder has reached a level of competence commonly accepted and valued by the industry. Enhanced job opportunities: Many employers give hiring preference to applicants with Network+ certification. Opportunity for advancement: The Network+ credential can be a plus when an employer awards job promotions. Training requirement: Network+ certification is being adopted as a prerequisite to enrollment in certain vendors' training courses. Customer confidence: As the general public learns about Network+ certification, customers will request that only certified technicians be assigned to their accounts. Improved productivity: Certified employees perform work faster and more accurately. Statistics show that certified employees can work up to 75 percent faster than noncertified employees. Customer satisfaction: When employees have credentials that prove their competency, customer expectations are more likely to be met. More business can be generated for the employer through repeat sales to satisfied customers.
