Network Infrastructure & Operations

About Course

The Network Infrastructure & Operations course is designed to provide participants with foundational to intermediate-level skills in designing, implementing, and maintaining robust network infrastructures. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to prepare learners for real-world network administration. The course covers networking fundamentals, IP addressing, switching and routing, wireless standards, and network performance monitoring.

25 modules and 15 lab projects

Understand core networking concepts and topologies
Master IP addressing, subnetting, and VLANs
Configure routers, switches, and wireless devices
Implement and troubleshoot routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, BGP, etc.)
Manage WAN configurations and NAT/DHCP services
Use network diagnostic tools (ping, traceroute, packet capture, etc.)
Monitor network performance with SNMP, NetFlow, and Syslog
Build and manage virtual networks using VMware and VirtualBox
Document network infrastructure using standard practices
Implement secure communication protocols and VPNs
Defend networks using firewalls, IDS/IPS, and access controls
