Study Notes

Networking Fundamentals

  • Compare and contrast the OSI model layers, emphasizing the role of encapsulation in data transmission.
  • Understand different network topologies (like star, mesh, bus) and types (LAN, WAN, MAN), including their characteristics and use cases.
  • Identify various types of cables (Ethernet, fiber optic, coaxial) and connectors (RJ-45, LC, SC), and choose the appropriate ones for specific networking needs.
  • Ability to configure a subnet, implementing correct IP addressing schemes to manage network resources effectively.
  • Explain common network ports (like HTTP on port 80, HTTPS on port 443) and protocols, including their secure alternatives (e.g., SFTP for FTP).
  • Understand the purpose and function of essential network services (DNS, DHCP) in maintaining communication and resource management.
  • Describe basic corporate and data center network architectures, addressing design and scalability factors.
  • Remember key concepts of cloud computing, including deployment models (public, private, hybrid) and connectivity options (VPNs, direct access).

Network Implementations

  • Analyze various networking devices (routers, switches, firewalls) and assess their features and optimal placement within a network.
  • Compare different routing technologies (static vs. dynamic routing) and evaluate bandwidth management concepts (QoS, traffic shaping).
  • Practice configuring and deploying fundamental Ethernet switching features like VLANs and port security for enhanced network performance.
  • Install and configure suitable wireless standards (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax) to ensure effective wireless communication and performance.

Network Operations

  • Apply the use of network statistics and sensors (SNMP, logs) to monitor and ensure network availability effectively.
  • Understand the importance of organizational documents (network diagrams, policies) and their role in establishing guidelines and best practices.
