Networking (R&S)
Learn the essentials of networks from basic network components to how the Internet connects all over the world.
Networks are all around us and you are using one right now to access this course.
Imagine for a moment, how different your life would be without access to Facebook, Snapchat, Google, YouTube, Whatsapp or any of the other websites on the Internet? How would you live with no Internet?
The Internet is extremely important in modern life today and all websites and Internet communication relies on networking. This reliance is only predicted to continue with the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the next few years.
Without routers, switches, network cabling and protocols like BGP there would be no Internet!
This course will teach you how networks actually work and how you are able to connect to websites like Facebook, Google, and YouTube.
Companies throughout the world (from the smallest to the largest) rely on networks designed, installed and maintained by networking engineers. Join this in demand industry!
Start your journey today learning about networking.
Content in this course can be used towards Networking.
Access our online simulations so you can practice on simulated Cisco routers and switches. You will get to type commands such as enable, configure terminal, router ospf and many others and learn how to configure devices.
In this course, you will learn about topics such as IP addressing, IP subnetting, Routing, Switches, VLANs, Spanning Tree, Network Address Translation, Wireless and a whole lot more.
The course covers the following topics including (and this list will be constantly updated):
- Network basics
- Network architectures (OSI Model)
- What are hubs, switches, routers?
- How is data forwarded through a network?
- IP addresses
- IP subnetting
- Ethernet basics
- TCP and UDP
- DNS and DHCP
- Routing
- VLANs
- ACLs
At the end of this course, you will be able to confidently discuss networking topics; and be able to start configuring real networking devices such as routers and switches.
The ideal student for this course is someone looking to break into the networking field, someone looking to extend their knowledge from PCs and servers to networking, or someone interested in getting knowledge to work in one of the most exciting, most in-demand jobs in IT – networking.
There are no requirements necessary to enroll in this course, I only ask that you come open minded and ready to learn.
Feel free to take a look at the course description and some of the sample free videos.

Had a good training on Networking(R&S) learnt many new concepts
Notes and More Examples on VLSM and Subnet Mask
Course was Good and I understand the concept very quickly compare to other online courses.
To make this course even better Try to give soft copy of written notes and try to make more videos of VLSM problems which will help to learn quickly.
Good
Networking Made Simple
