CompTIA Network + Training - 11/22/2005

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since becoming an MSE instructor, it’s that I like pie.  Mmmm, pie…

Anyway, today we covered two chapters worth of stuff: Chapters 15 and 16, dealing with TCP/IP’s role in the Internet and Remote Connectivity, respectively.  

Make sure you know what routers are, the difference between a gateway and a default gateway, and know about the various services that are available via TCP/IP (HTTP, E-mail, FTP, etc.)

As for Chapter 16, know that phone lines are phone lines and run only at 2400 baud.  It’s how much data your modem decides to put on those 2400 baud that determines the modem speed – therefore your speeds will be in multiples of 2400.  Make sure you can differentiate between DSL, ISDN, Cable, SONET, X.25, Frame Relay, etc.

Homework:
  • You know what the homework assignment is… slackers…
