Course Overview
TopThis highly practical instructor led Linux Networking course introduces the delegate to the main concepts of Linux networking and TCP/IP. It describes the structure of networks,topologies,TCP/IP Protocol suite,IP addressing,Application Layer protocols and packet capture techniques using Wireshark.
The delegate will learn Linux commands to view and configure Linux network cards,IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as well as subnetting and analysis of network packets for key applications using Wireshark.
This Linux Networking course is based on the Red Hat/CentOS Linux distribution,the delegate will be able to apply the concepts covered on this course to other Linux based distributions.
Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.
Virtual Learning
This interactive training can be taken from any location, your office or home and is delivered by a trainer. This training does not have any delegates in the class with the instructor, since all delegates are virtually connected. Virtual delegates do not travel to this course, Global Knowledge will send you all the information needed before the start of the course and you can test the logins.

- Delivery Format: Virtual Learning
- Date: 14-15 August, 2025
- Location: Virtual
Target Audience
TopUsers and Administrators who need to design,implement,troubleshoot and oversee TCP/IP networks. This Linux Networking course is also suitable for delegates who need an understanding of TCP/IP and are required to maintain a network.
Course Objectives
TopTo provide the skills necessary for the delegate to design,build,test and subnet TCP/IP Networks. The delegate will also learn how to capture packets and trace and rectify faults on the network.
