DHCP and TCP/IP  «Prev  Next»
Lesson 1

Introduction to Designing and Securing a TCP/IP and DHCP Solution

This course will provide senior networking support professionals the information and skills required to design a networking services infrastructure for large enterprise networks.
The focus of this course will be less on mouse clicking, and more on network design concepts and parameters vital to the successful network architect. Your prior knowledge about basic networking services such as WINS, DNS, RRAS, RADIUS, Proxy Server, and network hardware will serve as the foundation for the solutions you will design.
The network architect's job is like that of the building architect. He/she maps out the requirements for the organization, and with these requirements in mind, puts together a design plan. You will discover how TCP/IP and DHCP factor into design solutions, optimizing your solutions for maximum performance and security.
