English Delivery Only: Linux Networking

Who will the Course Benefit?

Users 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

To 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.
