Description de la Local Networks Theory and TCP/IP Protocols Training

This “Local Networks Theory & TCP/IP Protocols” training teaches you to understand and design a modern computer network, starting from the notions of LAN, interconnections and the OSI/TCP/IP models. You will learn to configure IP addresses, master the fundamental protocols (DHCP, DNS, TCP, UDP, ICMP) and use network diagnostic tools. Through practical scenarios, you will be able to diagnose and resolve common network problems. Also discover our Cloudflare Training, our Fortinet NSE4 Training, our CCNA Cisco 200-301 Certification Training and our Wi-Fi and Mobility Technologies Training.

Format

Remote (recorded sessions). The training can also be delivered on your premises and the content tailored to the needs of your professional project.

Good to know

This training includes numerous exercises (60% hands-on) for better learning. Our sessions are guaranteed from a single registrant (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary discussion takes place between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.). Assessment: during the training, the trainer assesses participants’ learning progress through quizzes, scenario-based exercises and hands-on practice. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training. This training is part of our IT Infrastructure training catalogue. Browse all our infrastructure courses to design, administer and secure robust IT environments.

objectifs de la Local Networks Theory and TCP/IP Protocols Training

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamentals of local (LAN) and wide-area (WAN/MAN) networks as well as network interconnection notions to structure and diagnose infrastructures.
  • Master the OSI model, the various transmission technologies and network interconnection equipment (switch, router, bridge).
  • Configure an IP address, mask and gateway, and use basic 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.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of computing and operating systems (Windows, Linux) to easily follow the network concepts. No advanced technical prerequisite is required; some initial familiarity with simple networks is a plus. Because every participant is unique, a personalised discussion with our expert allows us to design a training course perfectly aligned with their goals, level and professional challenges.

Target Audience for the Local Networks Theory Training

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

FAQ – Local Networks Theory and TCP/IP Training

TCP/IP is the standard protocol stack of the Internet and of enterprise networks. It defines how machines address each other (IP), communicate reliably (TCP) or quickly (UDP) and organise into layers (link, network, transport, application). A LAN relies on Ethernet and switches.

The OSI model is a 7-layer reference model, essentially educational. TCP/IP is the operational 4-layer model actually deployed. The two can be mapped to each other. MFE-IT uses both to explain concrete scenarios.

The essentials: IP (v4/v6), TCP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, DHCP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, NAT, VLAN 802.1Q. To go further: OSPF, BGP, VXLAN, QoS. Our MFE-IT training covers all these protocols with Wireshark captures.

Our Network Theory training runs over 3 days (21 hours) in a fully tailored format. This volume provides the solid foundations needed before specialising (security, cloud, wireless, etc.).
