The workshop
Routers and switches are primary components of most networks and obviously internetworks.
Routers are simultaneously the most complex component of networks and the most important.
This workshop goes through the basics of routers, routed and routing protocols and the basic
rules to follow in building internetworks. If you are using any form of communication system or
are applying modern PLCs/SCADA systems this workshop will give you the essential tools in
working with networks. It is not an advanced workshop – but a hands-on one.
Pre-requisites
A basic working knowledge of industrial communications and applications be would useful but
is not essential.
Practical sessions
This is a practical, hands-on workshop enabling you to work through exercises which reinforce
the concepts discussed. Sessions include:
• Construct a simple local area network using 10/100BaseT
• Configure IP addresses and subnet masks
• Use ping utility and observe ARP operation
• Analysis of ARP/ICMP/IP/UDP/TCP
• Tracert and route commands
• Set up and analyse FTP sessions
• Quick analysis of packets using protocol analyser
• Web based view of network
• Configuration of switches
• Setup and analyse spanning tree
• Setup VLANs
• Analysis of internetwork protocols
• Troubleshooting a router and switch
• Routers and switches - configuration issues
• Firewall configuration
To gain full value from this workshop, please bring your laptop/notebook computer.
