Course Code: PDN040
Course Description:
This 4-day course enables delegates to construct a complete service in the classroom using a variety of network equipment. The course contains Hands On labs for implementation, troubleshooting and quality of service.
Ethernet is the most widely-installed LAN technology. Specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then developed further by Xerox, DEC, and Intel. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps.
Fast Ethernet or 100BASE-T provides transmission speeds up to 100 megabits per second and is typically used for LAN backbone systems, supporting workstations with 10BASE-T cards. Gigabit Ethernet provides an even higher level of backbone support at 1000 megabits per second.
Alternative Training Courses:
Delegates who require an introduction to IP or Hands On TCP/IP skills should see look at our TCP/IP, IP and IPv6 training courses.
Delegates from a telecommunications background looking for an introduction to Metro Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet should see Gigabit Ethernet for Telecommunications Service Networks.
Delivery Method:
Public scheduled training course dates are at the bottom of this page. We also provide onsite training across EMEA, US and Asia/Pac regions.
Prerequisites:
No Ethernet knowledge is assumed, however delegates should have an understanding of datacoms principles. Delegates can gain this knowledge by attending Hands On TCP/IP and Internet Protocols. See prerequisite courses below.
Prerequisite courses:
Hands On TCP/IP and Internet Protocols
ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1
