Understanding IP addressing and core protocols is essential for anyone working with networks, as these elements form the foundation of network communication. Proper knowledge of IP addresses, subnetting, and key protocols like TCP and UDP ensures that networks function efficiently, securely, and reliably. This knowledge is critical for configuring networks, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and managing network resources.

The "IP Addressing and Core Protocols" course provides a comprehensive understanding of IP addressing and the core protocols used in networking. It covers topics like IP address classes, network masks, subnetting, and the operation of key protocols such as ARP, ICMP, TCP, and UDP. Through hands-on examples and real-world scenarios, learners will gain practical knowledge of analyzing network traffic and configuring network devices.

After completing this course, you'll be able to understand the structure of IP addresses and how they are assigned, configure and manage network masks and subnets, and use core networking protocols effectively. You'll also be proficient in analyzing network traffic using tools like Wireshark and have a solid understanding of how data is transmitted across networks, both in local and remote settings.

No prior networking experience is required to enroll in this course. However, basic knowledge of computer systems and an interest in learning how networks operate will be helpful. This course is ideal for beginners who want to understand the core concepts of networking, as well as for those looking to refresh or solidify their foundational networking skills.
