7 hours Theory, 3 hours Lab This module will introduce basic network structure and identify the kinds of nontechnical, or “soft” skills that will help an individual to succeed as a networking professional. Networking Standards and the OSI ModuleCT 202:
12 Hours This module explains the layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model and describes specific networking services within each layer of the OSI Model. Network ProtocolsCT 203:
12 Hours A protocol is a rule that governs how networks communicate. In this module the major networking protocols will be discussed. These protocols include: TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), IPX/SPX (Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange), Net BIOS, and AppleTalk. Students will learn to understand the addressing scheme of each protocol, and install the protocols on Windows 95 and Windows NT Clients. Networking MediaCT 204:
12 Hours Networking media provides the physical foundation of data transmission. In this module the characteristics that pertain to all means of data transmission and how to choose the appropriate media will be discussed. Cabling is heavily emphasized. In order to qualify for Net+ Certification the characteristics of each type of cabling, how to install and design a network with each type, and how to provide for future network growth with each cabling option must be understood. Network ArchitectureCT 205:
12 Hours This module defines the basic and hybrid LAN (Local Area Network) topologies along with a variety of enterprise-wide and WAN (Wide Area Network) topologies. Networking HardwareCT 206:
12 Hours Functions of the LAN connectivity hardware will be discussed in this section. This section will also identify problems associated with the connectivity hardware and how to troubleshoot it. Students will learn to install and configure a NIC (Network Interface Card). There are many factors involved when choosing a NIC, hub, switch, or router. These will be discussed along with the function of routing protocols. WANs and Remote ConnectivityCT 207:
12 Hours This module details the differences between LANs and WANs and identifies the criteria for selecting and appropriate WAN topology, transmission method, and operating system. Network applications that require WAN technology will also be identified. Procedures for installing and configuring remote connectivity for a telecommuting client will be detailed. Network Operating Systems and Windows NT-Based NetworkingCT 208:
15 Hours This module is an introduction to Network Operating Systems and their function. Students will learn how to perform a simple Windows NT Server installation and manage users, groups, and rights under Windows NT Server. To qualify for Network + certification it is important for the professional to understand thoroughly the inner workings of network operating systems in general. This includes being familiar with the three major network operating systems (Windows NT Server, NetWare, and UNIX). Network-Based NetworkingCT 209:
12 Hours This module focuses on the NetWare networking operating system. NetWare’ s server hardware requirements are discussed along with Netware’s memory, directory structure, and file system architectures. Installation for a simple NetWare server are planned for and performed after completing this section. Networking with UNIX
CT 210: 12 Hours UNIX is one of the most popular network operating systems. It is considered the parent of TCP/IP networking. Computers running UNIX account for more than 80% of all Internet servers. Also addressed in this module is LINUX, which is another major network operating system. LINUX grew out of an independent effort to create and operating system that behaves like the trademarked UNIX system. Networking with TCP/IP and the InternetCT 211:
12 Hours This module builds on the basic concepts discussed in previous modules. It examines how TCP/IP networks are managed, maintained, secured, and analyzed. Troubleshooting Network ProblemsCT 212:
15 Hours Every networking professional must know how to
troubleshoot. This section
introduces a basic troubleshooting methodology, leading through a series of
general problem-solving steps. This
logical approach may save a network support technician from undertaking
wasteful, time-consuming efforts such as unnecessary software or hardware
replacements. Maintaining and Upgrading a NetworkCT 213: 12 Hours In order to maintain and upgrade a network there must be regular hardware and software maintenance routines. This module will discuss the pitfalls of making changes to the network and how to research and plan future network upgrades. Ensuring Integrity and AvailabilityCT 214:
10 Hours Integrity refers to the soundness of a network’s programs, data, services, devices, and connections. To ensure a network’s integrity, it must be protected from anything that might render it unusable. Availability of a file or system refers to how consistently and reliably authorized personnel can access it. To ensure availability you need a well-planned and well-configured network, along with data backups, redundant devices, and protection from malicious intruders who could potentially immobilize the network. The different types of viruses and anti-virus protection methods are also detailed in this module. Network SecurityCT 215:
10 Hours Network security risks will be examined during this module. It is important to understand the basic terms associated with network security so the different types of risks involved can be understood. Not all security breaches result from a manipulation of network technology. Risks associated with people will also be addressed in this chapter. Managing Network Design and ImplementationCT 216:
