Course content

5 sections59 lectures8h 27m total length
  • Network Basics2:28
  • TCP/IP and OSI Models6:42
  • Layer 1 - Physical Layer3:02
  • Layer 1 - Ethernet7:05
  • Layer 1 - Hubs3:28
  • Layer 1 - WAN1:02
  • Layer 2 - Mac Addresses10:22

    Explore mac addresses, 48-bit layer 2 identifiers that uniquely encode manufacturer and network interface cards in hexadecimal, used by Ethernet frames and layer 2 switches.

  • Layer 2 - Switching12:35

    Layer 2 switching learns source MAC addresses to build the MAC address (CAM) table, floods unknown destinations to all ports, and uses VLANs to isolate MAC entries with aging timers.

  • Layer 3 - IPv4 Addressing9:07

    Explore how binary digits compose IPv4 addresses and subnets, convert decimal values to binary, and understand why IP addresses—split into four octets—enable network communication.

  • Layer 4 - TCP/UDP11:18
  • Layer 7 - Applications3:20
  • Layer Review9:09
  • ARP6:30

    Explore how ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses using broadcast requests and replies, populate ARP tables, and enable gateway routing on local networks.

  • Collapsed Core and Three-Tier Architectures1:08
  • Network Topologies1:03
  • Wireless6:13
  • Firewalls9:22

    Firewalls enforce security boundaries between inside networks and untrusted zones, using acl rules, dmz, nat, and stateful inspection to control traffic and enable vpn access.

  • CLI Basics14:55
  • Device Management Part 120:47
  • Device Management Part 212:10
  • CLI Debugging8:48
  • What is an IP Network?0:58
  • Subnet Masks1:51
  • Network Classes0:53

    Identify the three IP address classes—Class A, Class B, and Class C—and determine their ranges using examples like 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, and 192.168.0.0.

  • Subnetting19:06

    Learn subnetting to divide an IP network into multiple subnets, borrowing host bits and using classful ranges with the 2^n and 2^h-2 formulas to size subnets and hosts.

  • Magic Number Method10:36
  • VLSM11:20

    Explore variable length subnet masking (vlsm) to design efficient subnets from a 10.0.0.0/16 network, creating two 100-host networks and three 60-host networks with /25 and /26 masks.

  • IPv4 Address Types1:20

Student Feedback

-"I've gone through skillsoft and Cbt Nuggets, the differance between this is that its in laymans terms and very easy for me to understand, compared to others,"

-"I am slowly starting to understand I am anxious to get to the next video. The training videos I watched from other companies didn't go into detail like he does"
