This five-day instructor-led course provides you with the knowledge and skills to understand the operation and configuration of the TCP/IP protocol suite and its associated technologies for connectivity, automated addressing, name resolution, and traffic protection in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.

Elements of this syllabus are subject to change.

This course incorporates materials from the Official Microsoft Learning Products (OMLPs): M50022A TCP/IP Fundamentals for Microsoft Windows.

What You'll Learn

• Describe the protocols in the TCP/IP protocol suite and their function
• Describe both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing
• Perform subnetting for both IPv4 and IPv6 address prefixes
• Describe how IPv4 and IPv6 routing works for a sending host and router
• Describe the function and operation of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and configure a DHCP client, server, and relay agent in Windows
• Describe the function and operation of the Domain Name System (DNS) and configure a DNS client and server in Windows
• Describe the function and operation of the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) and configure a WINS client and server in Windows
• Describe the function and operation of Internet Protocol security (IPsec) and packet filtering and configure IPsec and Windows Firewall in Windows
• Describe the function and operation of a virtual private network (VPN) and configure a VPN client and server in Windows
• List and describe the function and operation of IPv6 transition technologies and configure an Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) client and router in Windows
