Master the essentials of networking protocols, hardware, and configuration to support modern IT environments. Develop a comprehensive understanding of network services, cabling, and core hardware components.
This course covers the foundational principles of networking, including TCP/UDP ports, protocols, wireless standards, and networked services. Learners will delve into network configuration concepts such as VLANs and VPNs, explore networking hardware like routers, switches, and firewalls, and learn about SOHO network setup, internet connection types, and networking tools. The course also introduces display technologies, cable types, RAM, storage devices, motherboards, CPUs, power supplies, and printers, equipping learners with the knowledge needed to support and troubleshoot a wide range of IT systems. Through structured modules and clear explanations, the course guides learners from basic networking concepts to advanced hardware topics. Each section builds logically, reinforcing understanding and preparing learners for practical IT support scenarios. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
