Networking technology- how it works, and why it works - is made clear in this course, where concepts like contemporary network services, transmission media, and protocols are explained. Students learn how protocols are used in networking implementations from many vendors, especially those most common in today’s LANs and WANs. This course is an introduction to computer networking technologies for students who are new to networking technologies. These students may or may not already be IT professionals, but are not yet networking professionals. This course will provide students with the concepts and skills needed to pass the Network+ certification exam produced by the Computing Technology Industry Association (Comp/TIA).
