Course Outline

Objectives:

  • Describe encapsulation, de-encapsulation, and modularity within the TCP/IP protocol stack for government networks.
  • Identify and explain the fields and flags within the IP header for government systems.
  • Explain IP address classes A, B, and C for government network configurations.
  • Use subnet masks to identify the network portion of an IP address in government environments.
  • Describe the differences between classful and classless IP addressing for government IT infrastructure.
  • Explain the operation of an IP router and the use of static and dynamic routing for government networks.
  • Compare distance vector (RIP) and link-state (OSPF) routing protocols for government network design.
  • Describe and explain IP subnetworking for government IT operations.
  • Explain supernetting, VLSM, and CIDR for government network management.
  • Describe ICMP and use ping and traceroute as tools for assessing network connectivity in government networks.
  • Explain the use of DHCP for dynamic IP addressing in government IT environments.
  • Use ARP to relate IP addresses to MAC addresses in government networks.
  • Explain the role of DNS in TCP/IP networks for government communications.
  • Identify and explain the fields and flags in the TCP and UDP headers for government network security.
  • Explain how TCP provides end-to-end reliability in an unreliable IP network for government applications.
  • Describe and explain the operation of congestion avoidance in TCP/IP networks for government IT systems.
  • Explain Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure communications in government environments.
