CIW Internetworking Professional Series:

TCP/IP Internetworking (CIWTCP)

TCP/IP Internetworking is a two-day course designed to teach key Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) concepts and protocols so network professionals can effectively plan, deploy and manage a TCP/IP enterprise network. Students will learn to build an enterprise network and analyze TCP/IP application and protocol information.

Target Audience

Network engineers, network architects, internetworking engineers, LAN/WAN administrators, systems administrators, systems managers, intranet administrators.

Job Responsibilities

Define network architecture; identify infrastructure components; monitor and analyze network performance; and design, manage and troubleshoot enterprise TCP/IP networks.

Prerequisites

Students must have CIW Foundations certification or equivalent experience.
