Introduction

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, install, and support Windows 2000 networking components for enterprise networks.

At Course Completion

At the end of this course, students will be able to plan, install, configure, and troubleshoot :

Windows 2000 networking technologies within an enterprise network. This course also provides information on how to connect different networks through remote-access services (RAS) and routing, as well as how to implement routing information protocol (RIP), open shortest path first (OSPF), IP multicasting, demand dial routing, and connection sharing. This course also covers how to use virtual private networks (VPNs) to connect networks through the Internet. An explanation of IP Security (IPSec), packet filtering, planning IP infrastructure, and how to secure network connections using proxy servers and firewalls is also included. Finally, students will learn how to deploy and integrate the various Windows 2000 networking technologies within an enterprise network.

In addition, Quality of Service (QoS) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) content will be available in online format. These two online modules provide students with the skills necessary to evaluate and implement QoS and ATM technologies on Microsoft Windows 2000 networks. On completing these modules, students will be able to manage specific network congestion issues by using QoS. They will learn to select and implement the most appropriate QoS tools, depending on the architecture and traffic demands of the network. Finally, students will learn to use Windows ATM to manage resource allocation on networks using ATM technologies.
