• List the 7 layers of the OSI Reference Model and provide specific examples of protocols/concepts used at each layer. List 4 layers of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite and compare the two Models.
• Troubleshoot software and hardware problems on a personal computer (PC), install new PC components; develop skills required to research hardware components and their associated software drivers.
• Design a class A, B, or C IPv4 networking scheme and be able to subnet the network based upon requirements for number of networks and number of hosts required.
• Based upon requirements, design a logical network(s), including IP networking scheme and placement of network services (e.g., DNS, DHCP, and Printing).
• Install, configure, and troubleshoot a Linux Operating System on a PC.
• Configure routers and switches to perform routing and maintain virtual LANs (VLANs) in a logical network.
• Configure and maintain Active Directory (AD) in a networked environment.
• Install, configure, and maintain a Windows OS (Operating System) on a PC.
• Configure & troubleshoot services (e.g., DNS, DHCP, routing, printing) in a networked environment.
