Introducing IP Fundamentals of Cisco Fabric for Media

Cisco Platinum Learning Business Enablement Logo

The Introducing IP Fundamentals of Cisco Fabric for Media (IPFMFD) v2.0 course introduces you to Internet Protocol (IP) technologies. This course covers Ethernet functions and standards, the basic principles of IP, the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack, and other technologies used in modern networks. Lab exercises focus on configuring basic IP functionality on switches and servers.

This class will help you:

  • Gain a solid foundation in how Ethernet functions and standards, IP, the TCP/IP stack, and other technologies are used in modern networks
  • Prepare to use Cisco® IP Fabric for Media (IPFM) to deploy a flexible, scalable, and secure IP-based media infrastructure

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the components of a computer network and describe their basic characteristics.
  • Describe network fundamentals,and explain a simple LAN.
  • Describe hardware and wiring that is used to build a network.
  • Describe the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
  • Explain the datalink layer characteristics, Ethernet protocol, and switch operation.
  • Introduce students to key network layer components, definitions, and standards.
  • Explain the purpose and functions of the transport layer.
  • Describe end-to-end packet delivery.
  • Describe routing.
  • Describe multicast networks, applications, and protocols.
  • Explain data center architecture in each layer and describe new leaf-spine topology approaches.
  • Explain virtualization and software-defined networking (SDN).
