| This class
will go over various TCP/IP networking concepts and troubleshooting
techniques as they relate to the Niagara AX platform. We will cover the
basics of the TCP/IP protocol including IP Addressing, subnet masks,
ports, gateways and how subnetting and routing work. We will go over
firewall functionality and how and why they work; this will include the
concepts of NAT and the use of public vs. private IP Addressing. We will
go over DNS and DHCP and its role in TCP/IP networking. Throughout all
of this we will keep a focus on not only understanding how these things
are supposed to work, but also how to troubleshoot why they may not be
working. This class will provide some good answers for Niagara AX
engineers who wonder why those IT guys do things the way they do. If
time allows, we will also cover the concepts of Dynamic DNS, VLAN’s,
troubleshooting the Email Service in Niagara and any other TCP/IP
questions students might have.
Pre-Requisites:
Student should be Niagara certified and have a laptop running Niagara AX
3.4 or greater.
Course Objectives:
- Be able to distinguish network and host
addresses using a subnet mask.
- Be able to tell what host id’s are valid
for a given subnet mask.
- Be able to tell when network traffic will
stay on a local subnet or be sent to a router.
- Use tools such as ping, ipconfig, arp,
tracert and netstat to troubleshoot TCP/IP problems and connectivity issues.
- Use telnet as a tool to test whether
networking ports are open.
- Use an online port scanner to tell if
network ports are open.
- Use nslookup to troubleshoot and test DNS
issues.
And If time allows…

Router for Dynamic DNS
- Understand what a VLAN is and
problems/issues they can cause.
