2.1 – Routing Technologies
Static Routing
Router tables can be manually configured using static routes. In this video, you’ll learn about routing tables, static routes, and how to define a static route in a router.
Dynamic Routing
Routing tables can be configured automatically through the use of dynamic routing protocols. In this video, you’ll learn the mechanics of dynamic routing protocols and the most popular dynamic routing protocols.
Routing TecNetwork Address Translationhnologies
There is a lot of information contained in a routing table. In this video, you’ll learn about the details in a routing table, FHRP, and subinterfaces.
Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation is used to modify IP addresses in real-time. In this video, you’ll learn how NAT and NAT overload/PAT are used to minimize the use of public IP addresses.
2.2 – Switching Technologies
VLANs and Trunking
VLANs can be used to create a separate of broadcast domains on a single switch. In this video, you’ll learn about VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, and managing both voice and video across the same connection.
Interface Configurations
There are different configuration options to consider when connecting to an Ethernet network. In this video, you’ll learn about interface settings, link aggregation, MTU sizes, and jumbo frames.
Spanning Tree Protocol
One challenge with switching is the concern of network loops. In this video, you’ll learn how Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to prevent loops and recover the network if an outage occurs.
2.3 – Wireless Devices
Wireless Technologies
Wireless networks include a number of different technologies. In this video, you’ll learn about wireless frequencies and channels, band steering, and regulatory impacts.
Wireless Networking
A wireless network design includes a number of network names, login screens, and antenna types. In this video, you’ll learn about SSIDs, BSSIDs, ESSIDs, captive portals, and more.
Network Types
There are many ways to connect devices on a wireless network. In this video, you’ll learn about mesh, ad hoc, point to point, and infrastructure mode connections.
Wireless Encryption
Wireless networks require secure protocols to maintain confidentiality. In this video, you’ll learn about wireless encryption techniques such as WPA2 and WPA3.
2.4 – Physical Installations
Installing Networks
Many networking technologies reside in the data center. In this video, you’ll learn about MDFs, IDFs, hot and cold aisles, cable infrastructure, and more.
Power
A reliable power source is an important part of any technology infrastructure. In this video, you’ll learn about the basics of power and how to protect against power interruptions using a UPS and power distribution unit.
Environmental Factors
The backbone of a data center is the environment where all of the technology is located. In this video, you’ll learn about humidity, temperature, and fire suppression options for data centers.
