Local Networks and TCP/IP Fundamentals Training Course

This Local Networks and TCP/IP Fundamentals training course prepares IT professionals to understand, design and troubleshoot modern computer network architectures. You will learn to master the OSI and TCP/IP models, configure IP addressing and subnetting, implement core network protocols and diagnose connectivity issues. The programme covers LAN/WAN fundamentals, Ethernet switching, routing basics, DHCP, DNS and network diagnostic tools. By the end, you will be able to design and administer reliable network infrastructures. Hands-on labs and real-world network scenarios are at the core of this training. Also discover our Network Administration (Switching and Routing) Training Course, our CCNA Cisco 200-301 training, our Routing and Firewalling training and our Wi-Fi and Mobility Technologies training.

This course includes numerous exercises (60% hands-on practice) for better learning. Sessions are guaranteed from a single registrant (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview takes place between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully take into account the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).

Assessment: during the training, the trainer assesses participants’ learning progress through quizzes, role-play and hands-on exercises. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

This course is part of our Computer Network Training Courses catalogue. Explore our other networking trainings to design, configure and operate reliable network infrastructures.

By the end of the course, the participant will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of local (LAN) and wide-area (WAN/MAN) networks, as well as interconnection concepts, to structure and diagnose infrastructures
• Master the OSI model, the various transmission technologies and interconnection devices (switch, router, bridge)
• Configure an IP address, subnet mask and gateway, and use core services such as DHCP and DNS
• Describe the TCP/IP model, understand the associated protocols (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP) and their role in network communication
• Use the main testing and troubleshooting tools (ping, traceroute, etc.) to diagnose a network

• Basic knowledge of computing and operating systems (Windows, Linux) to follow the networking concepts easily
• No advanced technical prerequisites are required; some initial familiarity with simple networks is a plus

Because every participant is unique, a personalised interview with our expert allows us to design a course perfectly aligned with their objectives, level and professional challenges.

Network or systems technicians and administrators who install, configure or troubleshoot local or IP networks. IT support engineers, or anyone wishing to strengthen their understanding of TCP/IP and LAN networks.
