The connection of terminals to local area networks (LANs) and their internetworking constitute the basis of modern data communications. Long-established and sophisticated LAN concepts, such as Ethernet, and the protocols of the TCP/IP family are continuously being improved in order to implement state-of-the-art applications, like Voice over IP. Intelligent internetworking components, like multi-layer switches, moreover offer a wide range of configuration options for the network and new features, such as quality of service. Persons who wish to master this environment require a profound know-how. After the course, the participants will be able to perform standard tasks in the fields of generic cabling systems, professional commissioning of Ethernet components, and implementation of VLANs and IP networks independently and to find solutions on their own.
