Established LAN concepts such as Ethernet or wireless LANs, as well as the protocols of the TCP/IP family, are constantly being developed further in order to be able to implement applications such as Voice over IP. Servers, databases and applications are centralized in data centers instead of being installed on local computers. Communication takes place via the network. Intelligent network components such as multilayer switches or routers also offer a wide range of structuring options for the network and performance features such as quality of service. Anyone who wants to find their way in this environment needs well-founded know-how. Based on a modern network design for enterprises, all components, protocols and services that are necessary for the function and operation of the network are examined. Participants will learn about the technologies and how to classify their function in the network. At the end of the course, the participants will have a general overview of a modern enterprise network and will be able to work on and solve standard tasks in the environment of building cabling, commissioning of switches and routers or the implementation of VLANs and IP networks independently.
