What you'll learn

Students will learn to understand, calculate and implement CIDR-based subnets and subnet masks.
Students will understand the practical use of creating subnetworks.
Students will learn binary numbering and how to easily convert back and forth between binary and decimal notation.
Students will learn IP address classes, how to identify classes and understand how to implement Classful IP addressing.
Students will learn Special IP Addresses and their uses.

Requirements

The course is geared toward beginning and moderately experienced networking students and professionals. Topics are presented to be understandable by anyone that is just beginning their networking knowledge journey and provides a full course or refresher to seasoned networkers.

Description

Taken from a series of live presentations, Dave Rush presents a Practical Subnetting guide for everyone from beginning students to seasoned network professionals though foundational concepts through subnetting Class A, B and C IP network addresses. The course opens with a basic

Overview

of IP address notations. From there, we present binary and base-2 number systems, using base-10 concepts to review how binary notation works. We illustrate how there is only one combination of 1s and 0s to represent any number. Students will easily be able to convert back and forth between binary and decimal numbers.Next, we introduce the concept of Classful IP addressing. This was how the first Internet addresses were distributed to users, organizations and Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Classful addressing is a fundamental and critical concept to understanding subnetting. With Classful addressing comes the concept of a subnet mask, network address classes and the skill to quickly identify a class of address, its subnet mask and which octets are used in the network address and which are used in host/node addresses.We continue our exploration of Classful addressing to review special IP addresses. We present the uses of special IP addresses and what makes them so special.With these concepts secure, we're ready to delve into the seemingly mysterious and arcane world of subnetting. Using the step-by-step approach, we learn the reasons for subnetting and a simple, four-step process. By provide extensive demonstrations and explanations, student gain confidence and competence in moving from a Classful IP addressing world to a Classless IP address on in which single network address assignments can be broken up into smaller, manageable sub-networks. These networks lend themselves to organizing network hosts, improving network traffic efficiency, making network management an easier task and provides other benefits.The key to understanding subnetting, in this course, is that we approach the topic from a practical perspective. We learn the four-step subnetting process and as we apply the steps, we learn the technical underpinnings of the process.By the end of the course, students can confidently and competently create multiple sub-networks from a single network, connect the subnets to routers and apply appropriate ranges of host addresses on each subnet.
This course is ideally suited to students preparing for CompTIA Network+ and Cisco CCNA students who want a greater understanding of calculating and implement subnets. It is also an excellent research for working network professionals who want to sharpen their subnetting skills and to view the process from a non-traditional approach and perspective.
