Networking Concepts: Networking Basics and Ethernet for CompTIA Network+

Networking Concepts: Networking Basics and Ethernet for CompTIA Network+ This course teaches you the essential principles for understanding the protocols and operation of data networks. These fundamentals are the most important foundation for passing the Network+ exam. Data networks are complex and follow a set of precise and specific rules to operate. By understanding the processes involved in a network, you can easily understand these complexities. In this course, Networking Concepts: Networking Basics and Ethernet for CompTIA Network+, you will learn how the OSI model is used to create an operational arrangement for network communications and you will also learn the basics of working with Ethernet. First, you will review the OSI model and learn the real-world purpose of each layer. Then, you will discover the basics of Ethernet operation, including how Ethernet switches forward traffic. Finally, you will learn how to identify different types of cables and connectors and where they are used. Upon completion of this course, you will gain the skills and knowledge about data networks to understand the OSI model and Ethernet operation, which is essential to pass the CompTIA Network+ Specialty exam.
