FSNE: Core Protocols & Network Models
Description
In this module, we dive into the most fundamental and foundational concepts related to IT and networking. You’ll learn what computer networks are all about and by the end of this module you will have an understanding of all the important protocols, standards, and technologies that give you a strong IT foundation.
Introduction
- Welcome (1 min)
- Welcome to the Core Protocols & Network Models Module!
TCP, UDP, & Ports - 66 minutes
- Ports (15 min)
- What are TCP and UDP Ports? We’ve got to understand these before we can truly understand the TCP and UDP protocols themselves.
- TCP (10 min)
- Good old Transmission Control Protocol!
- UDP (5 min)
- And, we must not forget about User Datagram Protocol.
- And, we must not forget about User Datagram Protocol.
- Real World TCP (29 min)
- Now, let’s look at some actual TCP ports using the netstat command.
- Port Forwarding (7 min)
- Port Forwarding – so useful, yet so dangerous!
Core Protocols - 31 minutes
- The Domain Name System (14 min)
- In this lesson we will break down the Domain Name System and you will finally understand why websites are named the way they are named.
- Diagram of a DNS Request (6 min)
- And now let’s check out a diagram of just what happens with DNS Requests.
- Core Protocols (11 min)
- There’s a few protocols that we need to make sure you completely understand. Let’s get down with some Telnet, SSH, ICMP, FTP and TFTP!
Networking Models - 60 minutes
- Intro to OSI and the 7 Layers (12 min)
- We’ll begin breaking down the OSI model by learning about the 7 layers.
- Passing Through the Layers (5 min)
- Now that we know what the 7 layers are we can see how data looks as it moves through each layer of the OSI model.
- Devices and Protocols in OSI (16 min)
- In this lesson we will look at the OSI model from the perspective of different network devices and the layers at which they function.
- Remembering the Layers (4 min)
- We’ll wrap up the lessons on the OSI model with some ways to remember the layers from bottom to top and top to bottom.
- The TCP/IP Model (14 min)
- Now that we understand OSI we can quickly deconstruct the TCP/IP Model
- Client-Server & Peer-to-Peer (9 min)
- In this lesson we will learn about the age old networking terms client-server and peer-to-peer
